WIP thread

[KTP]

my car seems to be coming along nicely, got my porsche wheels, in the middle of painting them and need to get adaptors before they are fitted.

also fitted my strut brace and PD160 trumpet and intake

got the wheels from ebay:

Front 16" 6J

Rear 16" 8J

the fronts are pretty clean but backs are kerbed..

Front ones are almost done:

just need to do the lip red to finish them off

and brace and intake:

strut brace was a pain to fit, had to remove the black box thing, think its to do with the air con to get to the bolts properly. must admit i was really surprised by the difference its made to the car, feels a lot tighter and less rolly round bends.

[bigal rallyred]

Very nice indeed. I'll look forward to seeing it in the flesh as I drive through Broxburn every day.

[Karaibrahim]

Bad, bad man! :eek: Makes me jealous! The rims are :drool:...

[MudPuppy]

Love the wheels. Look forward to seeing them on the car.

Can't view the pics are you hosting them from bebo/facebook??

[ultra_joel88]

i saw those wheels on ebay as I was certainly tempted

[thewilfmeister]

where did you get your strut brace from and for how much???

[KTP]

where did you get your strut brace from and for how much???

got the brace from jalesbrakes on this site along with the intake for £60, not sure what they cost new though.

cant wait to get the wheels fitted but other commitments mean it will probably be a month before i have spare money for the adaptors, then it will need coils

and davy, i use imageshack for hosting.

[fletch555]

Looking forward to seeing these fitted!

[Johnny50]

Excellent Keith.

Going to look very nice indeed once it's completed.

[KTP]

masked up the face and inner lip...

a few coats of red...

and the finished article...

i'm really happy with how they are turning out, now to do the other 3

[ultra_joel88]

they.

are.

lush.

[Robshaw]

They look outstanding.

Really like them. I was tempted to do somthing like that on the civic...

[KTP]

i'm hoping they give the car the look i want, and i think i'm on the right track.

[ultra_joel88]

I fancy some of these D90's now in a nice anthracite... how much do they go for?

[micklecats]

you have made a great job on the rims mate, well done they look cracking!

[Wet Kipper]

saw the real thing tonight - those wheels are gonna be schweeeeeet on your car.

[dsmithmobile]

They look well in black with the red lip

[Skodaboy1983]

You making me jealous Keith, will really suit your car.

Looking nice hurry up and get some rubber on those wheels and get them on the car and get those pics up am sure they are going to look sweet

[Tech1e]

Wheels do look sweet, a lot more patience than me. I used red trim tape to get the same effect.

The black box is the valve block that contains the two solenoids that operate your turbo VNT mech and the EGR system.

[VRS 203]

Wheels look good buddy. Nice meeting you last night!

[Johnny50]

Keith they're looking superb.

Was in two minds when you mentioned the red lip, but now it's done, it looks ace.

[KTP]

Adaptors arrived today:

20mm front

35mm rear

the rear ones gave me some concern about the size :eek:

and the wheel on

it does stick out a bit further than i would have liked and i may have issues with lowering, and lets face it, the car needs decked now! but i'll worry about that another day...

heres some pics:

[ultra_joel88]

Wheels are out a bit too much for me but still looks sweet.

Your rear discs looked FUBAR'd too.
