Well Today' Changed both track rod ends, The CV boot i nipped while prying the stut out, Fitted The Other side LED side light, and fitted 4 New exhaust clamps with the threads facing the opposite way' And the result is least i can now get the car on the drive   Didnt manage to get to wind the fronts up a notch which needs doing. Just a midgeys knacker.

f  k me, they look good. If you aren't happy with them, I'd be re-doing them now, before tyres go on, you fit them, and you STILL aren't happy with the finish.

Im not happy to be honest. dont get much time these days. hence why its took so long. the days are gone now of messing around painting wheels etc i think. just cant be bothered anymore. just going to have to do im afraid.

Love the car and what you have done to it, but IMHO i don't think the new wheels suit the car at all. I know it is your car and your choice of what's done to it so if your happy with it that's all that matters.

Looking good. Votex front you say? Reminds me of mine with the black grille. You might have trouble sourcing the fog light grilles, like hens teeth. Took me 6 months to find and £250 iirc. http://www.flickr.com/photos/33445843@N06/50345373...Where did you buy your LED bulbs from? I've tried numerous types of "white" LED sidelight but they all have a blueish hue and one set failed MOT. The standard orangey ones look odd against my HID's. I had plans of doing my wheels black and de-chrome door trims in black but never got round to it, until I saw this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkkAwWLgxDI

Think you need to paint the black platic parts on the bodywork now... Lol. (or have you mentioned that and I've missed it!?)

Loved the car right up to the point that you stuck those wheels on it. Sorry, they just don't work.

I like it now, and think it will look good with the exterior styling you have in mind for it.
