#1: Tango FTW ! (Pic Heavy) Author: gavstar, Location: BedsPosted: Sun May 16, 2010 12:11 pm ---- Has been a while since I posted up anything new about my car, managed to get hold of these wheels for a very good price from a guy on here who just wanted shot of them.
Theyre 7Jx15, were heavily corroded when i got them and needed some love.
I did my best to prep them and sent them off to the powdercoaters to be powdercoated black.
Was very happy with the finish and set on transforming them into something a bit more lary.
So here they are, along with my full set of SP arches that are now firmly attached (one came off on the motorway ages ago, was flapping around like mad)
Thoughts welcome...

And are nowhere near as nice as those formerly fitted.
Sorry Gav - but your car didn't need these unnecessary fripperies to look good. Ditto with the bonnet bra I'm afraid.

(Pic Heavy) Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Sun May 16, 2010 12:33 pm ---- love the car mate (green is my faverote colour on any car :P) not sure about the bonnet bra (the marmite mod!) but after i got a huge great scratch in my bonnet off a stone im really thinking about getting one (having one would have protected the area it ruddy hit aswell!) if i ever get it resprayed im so having a badgeless grill like urs

#9: Re: Tango FTW ! (Pic Heavy) Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Sun May 16, 2010 12:52 pm ---- Looks good.
Let me guess the bonnet notch hasn't been filled in, hence the bra

#11: Re: Tango FTW ! (Pic Heavy) Author: Resolutionary, Location: South West LondonPosted: Sun May 16, 2010 1:18 pm ---- Looks very nice mate..has it been lowered at all? Got a nice purposeful stance.
#12: Re: Tango FTW ! (Pic Heavy) Author: sillyhilly, Location: The Mean Streets of CoventryPosted: Sun May 16, 2010 2:07 pm ---- With the risk of sounding harsh, I apologise in advance.
However, green and orange just do not go together They clash way too much. And the wheels just don't suit.
The bonnet bra also doesn't look very good.
But each to their own. If you like it, c'est bon!
#13: Re: Tango FTW ! (Pic Heavy) Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Sun May 16, 2010 4:51 pm ---- would be good to see them orange bits painted green like the car, would look quite smart me thinks.
those wheels totally shouldnt work......but they do haha
love em
#15: Re: Tango FTW ! (Pic Heavy) Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Mon May 17, 2010 12:51 am ---- loving it actually needs lowering a tad then would look really sweet

lol one of the reasons, plus i really like it, might be carbon wrapping the bonnet at some point so will see how the bra looks then

lowered on springs at the front, gotta get the rear done at some point, dont trust myself with torsion bars
