you've enough tyres anyway :P nice owl wagon:)
Serious work lad
fairplay
looks cool.. not liking the other wheels.. but the meisters are unreal..
that would be unreaaaaaall if you had 4 of them misters, loooking awsome cant wait to see it when the ride height is sorted...
I know, I'd love 4 meisters myself but only 2 came up for sale, I'll snap up 2 more if they ever come up, the colour is slightly off between the 2 different wheels but sure feck it I'm not the one who gets to fussy over things like that,
Sweeet... front rims dont go with it at all though.
glad your happy with the wheels I will try find another two :D
Good man!!!Quote:

cant help but think the front is letting it down though, maybe its the grille or something?
I agree, I dont think its the grill tho, I think the standard bumper/splitter combo is to high for the 15's, I have the splitter down as far as it would go, I think in the future I might have to get the MCN Goodline replica bumper to bring the front of it down but I dont want to go back to fibreglass would break your heart, It wont be till after xmas anyway enough spending done for a while, I save up a bit, go mad, then it could be months before I do anything again lol, Almost a year went one stage where I didnt do a tap with it!Quote:

Thanks, have a few plans for it in the coming weeks, hopefully all goes to plan. Will be getting the engine bay painted too!!
Gonna be a serious motor in coming months!
very nice lad nice spec :)
Oooohhh first time I tried on the new Meister the rear is light metallic gold the front is just metallic gold I think I rather the rear colour, I have to order one more so might order the light metallic gold and get the front 2 matched (might be a bit of job matching colour can anyone shed any light on that colour codes maybe?).

Defo the lighter gold!!
are the fronts wider? or is there more aggressive offset on the front?
Hard to judge from pics cause the car could do with a wash but looks immense.
i know and a new paint job also... terribleQuote:

I'd say you'll have to paint all 4 to get them right tho
Front = 15x8.5 -18Quote:

looks awesome jay! i like the 2 different colours! the darker shade on the front! its individual and adds character!
I choped off the spats lowered the front lip and droped the car down a few inches...

looks gangster! get the roller out and flare the arches out :D
Wow twinky I like that! Thanks for the chop
I picked up a set of 2nd hand EBN arches that was going cheap just to have there but gonna see what they look like on it for the craic, I wont be able to roll the arches as some dick jap fella cut the inner lip with a saw instead of rolling them and left the 2 panels unwelded together so I had to get a bit of work during the paint job, filler and shit, so rolling the shit out of them will make shit of the paint,
Bit of prepping for saturday, Project Mu D1 Spec rear pads with a real low operating temp suppose to be unreal for handbraking and a tow hook for any misadventures!

Ok, I sold my BN Sports kit today, with the money I could buy a 2dr straight trueno shell with all panels and glass and still have change left over? Black booter trueno on meisters anyone? Just putting it out there,
