If only I didn't have this and only had my XSi to sell I would have one.
Bit of an update...
Just bought a set of light blue rim tape off ebay.
This is the colour that they are
Gunna give it a go...if I don't like it they'll come straight off.

Also I've now used proper wheel bolts with the nimrods and I don't have to use the extra 5mm spacer roll on ET0 :D

How do you mean a rear view mate? as in wheel on @ ET0 and then taken from the rear of the car to show how the wheel sits?

I'll try and get one. Did get one but that was only at ET20 without and spacers etc so looks a wee bit boring lol.
#235: Re: Uz's SWGT No.1 of 1...updates =] Author: Quarmbo, Location: Bristol & LeicesterPosted: Mon Apr 05, 2010 12:34 pm ---- Looks really good mate. Gloss black looks like the ticket for me as well!

Thanks mate still contemplating on whether or not to do this 4pot brake conversion or just to get a set of GTi180 calipers and change over to those.
Also going to order my 20mm spacers for the front and also try and find out whats going on with the bloody bodyshop guy. 12 weeks till FCS and I need it back before then so I can get final things done and get VIC test'd etc.
Still decidin on what tyre sizes to get...165/40 or 175/50. All suggestions welcome.
#237: Re: Uz's SWGT No.1 of 1...updates =] Author: Ruffy_206, Location: BristolPosted: Mon Apr 05, 2010 3:46 pm ---- 165 40 will look better but i think 175 50 will be more pratical if your planning on sell then dont worry about use of the tyre go all out 165 40 imo

I think I'm gunna go with the 165/40 tyres as my Dad's mate will do them for £40 fitted each. It'll also allow me to sit the car a little lower as the arch will be sitting virtually against the tyre wall.
If I can get it low enough I may have to have the chassis notched a little bit so nothing touches the body like the shafts etc.
Also looking at getting the GTI180 Front & Rear ARB's + Rear TB's and also looking at what possibilities there are for the Top Mounts...been looking at Pugsport ones but they seem abit pricey.
#239: Re: Uz's SWGT No.1 of 1...updates =] Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Fri Apr 09, 2010 4:15 am ---- I've decided that I'm only going to go as low as my styled mudflaps will let me...hopefully quite a lot lol.
I've taken the front styled mudflaps off my XSi which I will using on this car and having colour coded.
I'm also looking at getting the rear mudflaps for the SW and have found them available from Yeoman's Peugeot Shop but postage is £10
These are the ones I'm looking at getting...Rear mudflaps
If anyone can get hold of the part numbers for these rear mudflaps so I can order them directly from Peugeot (if cheaper then the £26 from Yeoman's) that that would be really appreciated. I don't know if the reference number they've given for them is the pug part numebr or not.
If they don't let me have enough of a drop then I'll take them off but I just think they look good on the car.
Also looking at ordering a set of these soon as I really can't find a way of mounting them partner washer jets...AERO WIPER W/ BUILT IN WASHER JETS.

I've been looking around and have found a very special and very nice (in my eyes) set of wheels.
Now the nimrods are up for sale and the money will be going towards them. The only information that I will be giving about these wheels is that they are 8Jx16" I'm sure a few people will be guessing but they do have an offset of between 15-20
