Ive two of these on the way, i regretted not bidding on your one ;)

The bonnet & front grill is off the later medalist edition as are the rear lights.

Your body kit is a BSK kit, and the intercooler is HPI one

Im gone a bit of a laurel fiend haha

That's a lovely bus, love the back of them. A change from the amount of chasers coming in and probably a lot easier to get parts for too. Best of luck to with it!

So picked up a pair off weds kranze cerberus ii for the back from yahoo auctions couldnt get 9.5's . I settled for 18 x 9 +21 not in the best shape (chrome peeling) but nothing a full refurb down the lines wont fix .

Few more plans for it over the next few weeks

Defo one of the nicest C35s I've seen, spacers would finish the stance off nicely.

jonny1505
11-05-15, 09:27
They seem to be the cheaper option then lips at 200 a piece. Or I could sell them and get a bigger Ones

Everyone's saying to go all out on it But I don't have the money to do it . I'm leaning more towards just a map after I've done the water pump and timing belt .

Small update . After 7 weeks waiting for lips i threw in the towel . Lucky i was able to buy bk my old lips . Bought a pair off 25mm spacers for the back off kaber performance. Top quality as always . I found out the hesitation the car been having since march was due to absolutely bolloxed lambda sensor . Always the last thing u look at haha .

Heres a picture off how the rear is sitting with spacers and 18 x 9 + 25

Told they were in stock . 5 weeks later rang the company , was told they werent in stock and it would be another week , waited 2 weeks no sign so i canceled the order . Might have to go with a 215/40 on the back yet
