Enjoy!

More pics once i've polished them and then got tyres!

lol I'll let him know!

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

[Babs]

[Ad Lav]

Thanks guys

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!

[Rob.]

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

[Robshaw]

+1 Top work should look amazing.

[Ad Lav]

Thanks for the replies chaps, i'm chuffed to bits with them!

[Ad Lav]

Wheels now fitted, comments welcome, and yes I know it needs lowering

[normanmatthew]

Look quality in that colour buddy , glistening!

And no I'm not gonna be the first to say 'lower' I'll leave it some other noob

[Ad Lav]

lol

Thanks, they are very sparkly!

Springs and shocks or coilovers.... hmm!

[normanmatthew]

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

[normanmatthew]

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!

[sullycork]

fair play they look really well

[TheOne]

Looking good!

[Ad Lav]

Will try and get some daylight pics today...

Thanks for the comments, i'm very pleased with them!
