Well have few more bits done havent many pics of it all. Hopefully i get sorted and get the car to the bodyshop next week and get it painted etc.

Few interior pics i need cdplayer surround as the one i have is butchered.




Sanded the rocker cover again and polished it but havent any finished pics


Wired fogs for the car and got bulbs also mounted the hid ballasts.




Slotted the coilovers to get enough camber so the works are up by the arch.


Started at tinting the back lights such a cunt of a job as i had no spare special tint to fuck up and just covered the 3 lights, got a little crease in one part of the tint but happy enough with them.



Tinted the centre garnish

Well got the tyres for the car yesterday
Got 235/40/18s for the 18x 10.5 +1 Work Vs-Kf
And got 225/40/18 for the 18x 9.5 +7 Works Vs-kf

Has a nice old strech to them, that was grand and then went to fit them to the car and the problems started not suprised really trying to pull of big wheels on the 180.

The rear needs alot more camber to get the wheels to fit under the 50mm rear quarters there touching already with the car just sitting there.

The front is the worst the tyres are very close to the tubs and the loom, doesnt rub the chassis leg at all even with the extra lock hubs which is good but very close to the seam by the door and thats all folded in so may need abit more "fabrication" to push it in abit more.

Heres how it looks
Rear Wheels




Front wheels




Look from the front, have to raise the bumper bar abit to level bumper rite.

Sit the finest man sound for that!!! didnt need the bead blaster to get these on either with these brand unlike all the other tyres ive had i needed to do em that way!!! 30 euro to throw all 4 on for a finish could have done em for free with a mates machine myself but taught i needed to use the bead blaster ill know for next time.
