Nope all the alloys are fine, I like the wheels on this car as they are otherwise I would have bought alloys for it orignally.

 

[joesouthgate]

Also did a couple of mods at JAE:
Replaced the rear badge with a raised JAE badge and added some stickersL:

 

[joesouthgate]

Surely better to fit the alloys off the other car? studs and spacers gets fairly expensive, although I imagine only three of the alloys are OK?

Oh and studs and spacers for the rear will be less than 30 quid, not too much.

 

[Tom 1.0]

i've got studs and 35mm spacers for all round if you are interested?

 

[joesouthgate]

ooh yes, how much you looking for them?

 

[Tom 1.0]

happy to sell them for 35 including postage?

you might want to check my blog first to see if you would be happy with them lol

 

[joesouthgate]

Yer I know which ones they are mate I'll send you a pm in 2 secs.

 

[Tom 1.0]

[joesouthgate]

[martinb]

true, but at least it wont feel like your topple over in the wind now with the springs!!

[joesouthgate]

Yer, I'm after looks and a bit less roll but keeping as much comfort as possible! Nah no more splitters i'm afraid mate.

[NeX]

did you rob those nut alignment thingys off a bus?? lol

 

[joesouthgate]

no i bought them from ebay lol

 

[NeX]

awesome they do look cool actually

 

[micras69]

nice touch!

 

[hoodedreeper]

love it!

 

[Robb]

It is funky, hope they last

 

[joesouthgate]

They fit quite tight so unless I get some pikeys then they should stay put. They're only a few quid anyway.

 

[Bombardier]

With the spacers is there something else that goes on the inside to have the weight of the car taken by the hub or is it all supported on the slotted bolts?

 

[joesouthgate]

The wheels are held on by the bolts yes.

 

[Flat_Out]

Thought about de-bumpstripping it modded?? Just an idea like, might give it a cleaner look? Good progress though mate(Y)


Flat_out

 

[joesouthgate]

Nah I'm going to do the bump strips gloss black all round.

 

[squarepants]

[joesouthgate]

Heard nothing about it untill yesterday, when i finally got an accident form asking for copy of mot etc, which is all gone! And where the car is etc! Do they expect me to have it sat outside for a month or in the impound costing £20 a day!!!?

wtf, tards, who did that come from the insurance company or the police? did you phone them and tell them that the car has been transfered to someone else?

 

[joesouthgate]

insurance company! I will do. Police sent me a letter saying no further action will be taken. How did your ribs heal up in the end, okay?
