[FR_MATT]

I've been thinking about this for ages! Do you reacon the fit straight on?

No lol they are ment to be a pain to fit but has been doin before

 

[tim144]

Are they the same length? That's my main concern about buying them... Carbon rapped they could look cool..

It's the shape not the length that's the issue I believe:

Yer can see the issue in that last pic have they just been tiger sealed on? Or self tappers?

 

[FR_MATT]

Bonded I think

This happened this week:

What's in the little packet?

It's grease

Slightly tempted to fit it later today lol

 

[tim144]

You manage to get it it ?

 

[FR_MATT]

I didn't try, did paint my alternator though. Will get some pics up later

 

[FR_MATT]

Got fed up with seeing the oxidised crap of the alternator every time I opened the bonnet:

 

[tim144]

Looks good.

 

[Dozer360]

Nice one

 

[Bera]

Good solution! Just painted with matte black?

 

[Raymonndo]

Looks really good . How did you cover it up on the inside to prevent paint getting on it? Or was it paintbrush jobby? .

 

[FR_MATT]

Just gave is a quick clean up with a soft wire brush, then brush painted it carefully

 

[FR_MATT]

Finished my collection of matching ropey looking steel wheels lol paid £15 for all 4 in total

Attacked two of them with various drill attachments and a power sander, think I'm going to get some prices on shot/sand blasting tomorrow as I'm going to end up using about 5 flap wheels at this rate lol

Will be having a practice painting these for when I do my FR ones next spring:

 

[Raymonndo]

Bargain for £15! I want 4 steelies and some winter tyres for this season!

 

[tim144]

Should band those steeliness...... And deck it!

 

[FR_MATT]

Have you seen how much banding is!

I'm just trying to work out if I can fit 15mm spacers to the front
