Thanks Lee (Y)

I've just bought a set of 16" Nimrods off Nathan D (on 106owners) Smile

As soon as they come through I'll be dropping them straight off to the powdercoaters and getting them done in Gloss Black again. Just need to buy a set of Bolts, the black metal valves and some gloss black nut covers now Smile

Pics of the Nims;

Smile Hopefully I should be ordering the 20mm spacers for the front to match the ones at the back and I'll be ordering some tyres as soon as my first payment comes through for my loan...ker'chin Very Happy

Going to be wrapping them in 165/45 or 165/40 tyres so I get a subtle amount of stretch on them.

Thats the stretch with a 165/40 tyre Surprised

Well I've measure the gap between top of arch and the tyre with my RS wheels and I can go down 100mm all round. But I'm going to get the car sitting on the Nimrods and get coilovers fitted. That way once I've got it on the ramp I can play around with different heights to get the right one. But I'm thinking about 90mm up front and 100mm at the rear Smile

I'm looking at doing the following;

- double din headunit in centre console (this will be done after FCS)
- Alpine 6.5" Comps in front doors
- Alpine 2 Channel Amp to power comps
- Alpine Type R 5.25" 2/3 Way in rear doors
- Alpine Type R 10"/12" sub in boot
- Alpine monoblock amp to power sub

Hopefully I'll have the speakers and amps in and used in conjunction with my IDA-X001.

Also going to be looking into having the headrest done with monitors in and have a 360/PS3 hooked up to them...otherwise I'll have a 10" roof monitor hooked up to the console.

Been upto the Pug garage firstly to find out about my Armrest and there saying they're having problems with certain parts :S But also I've ordered a set of 16 Nimrod bolts (Thanks to CD-GTi for the part numbers) and also a set of Partner wash jets.

The partner washer jets clip into the scuttle panel and will be perfect for what I'm wanting to do as I'm having the hole flushed.

Also change of plan on the front end of the car. I'm no longer having the bonnet recess flushed as now that the grille I was making has fubared, I'm just gunna keep it standard with a badge and just have it sprayed gloss black.

Other then that I need to order up;

- set of Nankang NS2 165/40 R16 tyres from camskill tyres
- Ultralite Black Bolt-In Valves
- Black bolt covers
- set of locking wheel nuts

Also I need to try and find a way of getting hold of a set of blank centre caps for the Nimrods so I can get some custom gel centre badges done for them.
