Quote from: M M on February 23, 2016, 11:01:23 AMI think why those wheels look too big Rob is because those tyres are so small and not wide enough. Get well fitting tyres and it should look fine.

True, perhaps a fatter tyre and pushed out slightly more to sit flush with the guards.

that black car's not too bad...

a downside is the bigger wheels will make your brakes look puny.

:laugh:

about 18mths ago i also had fun with overseas delivery.
i ordered some lp records from the usa.
the box arrived at the delivery agent in pn (nz couriers) but because i used a po box they deemed it undeliverable, despite having my contact ph number on the box, the wankers sent it back to the usa !
i eventually got the order and a full refund from the seller.

They're back in Auckland now!!
I have paid the duty too.

I hadn't thought about the brakes, they will look tiny!

You will definitely want a brake upgrade. The standard ones are pathetic at best

Yay! Parcel has arrived from Germany.
Quality of packing not so reassuring!!

Wheels arrived too but the Mrs was out so I have to wait another couple of days.

Perhaps some minilites, as what Malcolm had on his a2 "currently in the Oamaru Auto collection"

At a glance with that black trim the bonnet looks bent!

Called in to Just Rust for a quick chat today but for some reason I didn't take any pics. Not like me I know. The rear of the car looks awesome, all done in black underseal, and the inside of the boot looks fantastic too.

They said they need to put aside a few days and it'll be done.

Also I collected the wheels from DHL - they look great, big, but great :)

Painting required.
Also there are centre cap bolts but no key to tighten them.

Suggest you do a test fit with the wheels fitted with the tyre size you want to use while your ur is at the panel shop to check the clearance as the guards may have to be 're-rolled' for tyre clearance.

That looks good.................in my favourite colours as well

I called in today to take some terrible photos and test wheel fitment. Apologies for bad phone pics.

The boot looks amazing now with underseal done.







Front wing is back on and sealed. bonnet primed and resting in place.
