Default The modding has started

Finally decided on wheels.

Ordered a set of diamond polished rota slipstreams, same as these.



Car went into bodyshop today to get front end resprayed.

It was meant to go into the garage to get lowered when the paint work is done. But reading about needing spacers for the half shafts, has made me doubt the option so I've put lowering it on hold.

Then, buddyclub prospec exhaust and interior retrim on drivers seat bolster. Then new rear screen.

I'll see what it looks like when it has the wheels on it before I decide on lowering.

The above pic is what I'm kind of aiming for.

S2KUK will very shortly be selling their very own half shaft spacers for a very reasonable price indeed.

We are just waiting for the shipment of 15 kits to arrive.
Keep an eye out in the FS&W section. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...&#entry14031499

Will the spacers be one piece or in 2 halfs (to ease fitting) that s2kuk are doing?

cancel that, I've read the thread, one piece, but nothing a hacksaw won't fix

Diamond polished are too bling for my liking, but glad you found what you were after! They are the Spoon replica.

I had Rota's on my DC5 and was really pleased with them, esp for the money.

What size did you go for?
