And I obviously need to drop some wheels and beer round to him too! :D

Once i've chosen some tyres they'll be on, then hopefully some coilovers or a spring/shock set.

Nice!

A lot darker than anthracite, looks good :)

EXACTLY what I had in mind for mine.

Envious mate.... Lovely alloys.

Thanks guys :D

Just been applying some wax to them, the colour has darkened somewhat more and has an awful lot of red and blue pearl showing through!

Top Job .... They will look Lurvely :thumbup:

They look great mate! But am I the only one who thinks the grey primer looks good as well? :D

+1 Top work should look amazing.

lol :)

Thanks, they are very sparkly!

Springs and shocks or coilovers.... hmm!

Completely up to you buddy, do a little research and see what other forum users have said about various products, I was running AP coilovers for a while before removing them when I went to Uni and can't rate them high enough.

Nice! It usually costs me the equivalent of about 20 boxes of beer to get 4 wheels repainted.....

Used to have an Ibiza FR TDI on coilovers and it was fine, just not sure what way to go now i'm older :D

Yer I started with FK's and they bounced me all over the shop, so went for AP's the ride was fine but I couldn't go 'too' low due to where I live as the roads are rather rural!

fair play they look really well :thumbup:

Looking good!
