| At the moment its going to be the Super Streets, with top mounts, and uprated droplinks, and then at some stage bushes. .....However, im tempted by the K-Sport coilovers so now im not sure!  | |

| Fairplay mate!
Ive only had photoshop for a couple of days now, and lowering cars, apart from clear lights, is about all i can do!
It isn't easy!! | |

No problem as the blue pipe wrap was had off a mate, to temporarily cover the hoses that im changing to silicon. Since the photo, all of the boost pipes have been changed to silicon, apart from the 'wrap' going to the SSQV. As for the wheels, being coloured you either love em' or hate em'. Eventually (prob next year now) im going to change them for some Volk Racing TE37, or Work Racing VS-SS rims. Oh, and somebody has already made the mistake of thinking the blue hose to the air intake, and the coolant hose next to it, is pipe wrap, but its actually silicon hose factory cut to allow it to bend without kinking. About £20 a metre. | |

| Have to agree with ned on the pipe wrap, the wheels are ultralites if im not mistaken which i think are a decent make, although i thought they were RS-GT's for a minuite (  ). Will look v v v nice on te's | |

| Nooooo!, not RS-GT's!!!  They are, as EZ says, Ultralite 766 Battles, which are, believe it or not, lightweight jap race wheels. Cant believe how light they are!! When the postman delivered them, he carried all four rims up the drive in one go!! | |
