Yep the link works alright, shines up alright don't she! PH1 alloys defo look better IMO, others just don't suit it. Looks good though, though it would be worse when you said bout the rusty arches and that. See what you mean too black would look grrrreat with leathers.
Waiting on my boss's mate to come back of hols and I'll find out bout the lcd screen for you.
Apart from that, the tappets may be up for grabs again as the wining bidder hasn't paid yet, give em a couple more days then you can have first dibs before I relist them. |

cool, if you know where any leathers are.......... lol, like the opinion on the alloys, keep 'em coming!! the good thing about the aftermarket jobbies, is when the drilled and grooved brakes are on, it not only looks good, but aids cooling a lot more i thinks.
hope she looks beautiful when she is all done!! |

Those wheels look worse then I thought! Standard ones are much, much, much better.
Sell them fella, for the love of all things retro. |

i know the wheels arent everyones cuppa, but i can see much difference between these and Wicked Neo's on his 19 ????? still, like i say, its just a matter of taste. i will probably keep both sets of wheels anyway, but i do like peoples opinions, but surely someone likes them as well as me ??? |

Just keep waiting for some exec leather to come up on ebay, then get in there quick and try to get the seller to end early for around the £80 mark. |

I just think they suit the car really well but they are not to everyones taste. |

yep i agree on that, i only went for 15's so that if i keep it, it wont be outrageously priced for decent tyres, and it will be original size tyres and also, i will have the best of both worlds as i will still have the originals too!! |
