New modification to Hydra

So I now have my new alloys, needs a bit of work, so the next project is to refurb them for less that £40 (the alloys only cost £110 for all four with tyres) so £150 all in?

My idea was to use these as my winters and get rid of the Trinity alloys (as they are too common :p )

New rims and tyres fitted, Oz's ready to be refurbed ready for the 2017 show season, when hopefully everything else that's planned for the Fabia will happen.

We tried it with two of them, before I went ahead, but they looked way too chavy and looked like I crashed backwards through Halfords.

Everyones different, but im not a fan of the new wheels really, doesn't go with the car very well.

I know what you mean. looks like the OZ's are going back on and these are either going into the back of the garage (with the other sets of alloys) or soon to be seen in the classifieds.

Now after leaving my Facebook page open and the wife seeing what I wrote about her dislike of my car, I've been threatened with midnight castration if I sell the car?? (never understand these women, hates the car but doesn't want me to sell?)

 

so here's the next part of the saga, brake upgrade time, on the front we have 330mm discs, Lambo 4 pot Brembo's and HEL braided hosed. The rear is getting a disc upgrade, standard size at the minute, until I find an upgraded MK1 Octy kit (if it works?)

Glad your deciding, although under duress, to keep it!

Thanks, I'm rather attached to my nackers, so this was the only real option :)

The rear calipers are with BCS in Nottingham have the same colour as the front.

Hmm don't think so, haven't got the 'run fat boy run shorts'

But I might bring the nice new calipers to show off, the car goes in on the 19 May to have the brakes done, the rears will be back by then, freshly painted

So the next installment has happened :) think I could have gone a bit bigger :) but she's on the OZ's which are 5mm offset bigger than the Trinity's and 15mm spacer, can't go any wider without surgery on the arch :( maybe later?
