not bad looks like you may want to get the flaking paint sorted though as it looks like rust is developing. would be keen to see how the HID looks with the standard light housing. always thought HID's needed to be in projector lamps to stop it from dazzling
Also what proton were you driving before? Can't access your link without registering.

i think i have the wider nimrods because the arches sit on my tyres and you can see where they have worn, !
but i got a rolling pin, jacked the car onto it and rolled my arches! haha and it worked!

What wider nimrods? The 206 ones are 6.5j, which got easily under the arches.

406 nimrods have a lower offset meaning they stick out further think thats what he means

personally id sort out the body work first, then focus on doing mods as the rust will only get worse

Not really, looks like every single panel is practically dented or rusted.

My old car! Proton Satria Sport
The one on the right
Then the engine blew up so it was replaced, some pics of the blew engine
as you can possibly tell this car isnt my pride and joy, it is just a midpoint between a nicer car, i have bought it to save fuel, tax and insurance, and for 500 quid (what he advertised it at) i think its a bargain!
i will return to japanese cars in the future
