Removed the Brembos as my new wheels didnt fit on the rear, and was made an offer i couldnt refuse on the fronts.

Refitted my R32/S3 brakes and painted them back blue.. Miss the braking power of the Brembos though.

New wheels.. Rotiform IVS 19" 8.5j et33/35

Split them down polished the dishes and got new polished bolts as didnt like the gold ones. Centres satin gold.

Few updates seen as i havent added any in nearly 5 months.

Ive been toying with the idea of a facelift front end since i got the car, but getting headlights etc would have cost a fortune. So i bought a facelift bumper and set about fitting it. To get the lines all correct it wasnt possible really, so the bumper was chopped in half, welded to the top half of the normal bumper. Then smoothed off..

The outcome..
