New Wheels and Vortx wings
Pdlewis - 8/2/09 at 02:34 PM

Had a good day in the garage (had to finish to watch the rugby) got my new (budget) wheels on and cut the front wings to fit.

The wings were a true pain in the arse to get on. I didnt like them as full wrap arround so i have sliced about 18cm off at an angle and had to trim a bit of the lip to allow the tryre to fit. I have not attached them to the wing stays yet so i anticipate having to adjust a bit more

Is the exhaust in it's permanent home? Is it a bit low?

No its not in its final positon I need to get some metal to make a strap out of which holds its shape a bit better than the thin bit of ali im using

I like the oval lights - what are they?

Wheels look good paul.
funny enough i did my front arches yesterday, the real fun is attaching them to the wing stays

what uprights are you using? as your calipers are in an unusual position

i think that car would look even better with black or CF wheel arches. the nose does look very close to the ground as well as the exhaust, but it is coming on very nicely indeed

I agreen it needs black on it I think this will be sorted post SVA with some stickers and maybe some CF parts when i win the lottery
