I love the wheels, and the combo with the ride height.


And the headlights just look evil! :|

thank's, they are just protector covers that i painted gloss black... i just done them yesterday & i'm still a little unsure if i like them?
i did have them "smoke" tinted but they faded and looked blue!

Hey Ian!

Bet that bugger shifts! How quick does it feel?

Random question for you... Do you ever miss your E39?

lol "K" .. i spanked my mate in his N/A 300zx just last night, he was a tad embarrassed :smartass: it can surprise many folk, best bit of fun ive had (on a private test track) was a run against a Octavia RS, but once i past 130 the Octavia fell away :D
just in wet conditions it can be a bit of a hand full, total night mare when trying to pull away quick in the wet, the wheels have been knowing to keep spinning right through to 4th gear! TBH it's a waste trying to drive it quick/fast in the wet.

ive never missed my E39 mate, was an absolutly brilliant big motor but i was ready for selling it when i did, funny enough though i was out at a friend of a friends house about 5 wks ago and i saw it lying in a drive way looking very sad :( .. apparently it now needs an engine, wheels, tyres, mot'd and a right good bloody clean! :shocked: my friend said "wow big man, that's sat up that drive for about 2yrs and i never even noticed it was your old BM!"
