spray the rub strips i think...or maybe photoshop them to see what it would look like?

Keeping the grey and matte black colour scheme, so not doing any colourcoding!

that would definatly ruin the look colour coding the bump sills.

but one thing that could do with colour coding is

the brakes

All in good time... the brakes will be another job for a week off, so maybe over Xmas or Feb half term! Will make a decision on what colour to go for nearer the time!

Lucky sod. I'm due to work nights over Christmas, and afternoons over New Year. Great.

Teaching does have some perks... the holidays being about the only one! (If you don't then consider the fact that holiday prices pretty much double as soon as they start... [:@]

Yeah, with 2 kids myself I know how expensive they are. Besides, I'm reliably informed by my teacher friends that you do still do work over the hols - or are they yanking my chain?

Yeah, that's true. Not all holiday mind...

Hi mate just been looking at the mods you have done, would you recommend rear spacers? I am thinking but still not sure. Does it harm the car in any way? Also how much and where from?

Yeah, a good mod worth doing. I have THESE ONES and they are great. No problems so far, and I don't hear of any other forum members having problems with them either. They are good because they bolt to the hubs with their own shallow bolts and fit nice and snug on the hub/spigot. The wheel then bolts to the spacers.

Makes a bit of a difference to the appearance and road holding... so all good!
