    It Was Worth It !

    All the looking around, working out width's, offsets etc. The last 7 weeks of sweating on if they will fit.

    The good news is I got my calculations right and they are on !

    So please be upstanding for the Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's, shod with Falken FK452's

    Here's a sneak preview......car is too dirty for anymore pix

    And more importantly, Shaz is happy ......and no more spacers to fit over the KAD's. Car is in Thursday night for the Brembo rear conversion.

    Looking good Pete. Will be even better when the car is as shiny as the spangly new wheels.

    I love black wheels

    Hmmmmmm pleasantly surprised. Was a little concerned that black wheels on a black car may be too much, and that they may tend to disappear. But looking at that pic, my fears were unfounded. Nice one

    It won't stop there ! This car is going "back to black". The Ralliart logo's are going, and the windows are going to be dark tinted.

    Not sure if it will be done before JF2, but plans are afoot.

    Well funny you should say that.

    My next idea was on a Kill Bill theme - a Hattori Hanzo sword across the two doors, and "Black Mamba" written underneath.

    Shaz looked at me in a funny way when I suggested it

    nice look, the bright red brakes will stand out nicley with the all black. I have a black legnum with full black tints, i got gold 18" at the moment but was considering having them powder caoted black. Yours like graet. I would have to do the brembo convertion to complete the package, Oh and 100,000,000 years of polishing.
    One problem with full black tints is at dusk/night you can not see anything out the rear window apart from headlight. you can't tell if it friend or police.

    Looking Solid mate!

    I would go for light smoke tints all way around, looks smarter then dark.
