Looks great I've got to do the handbrake cables on mine,went for a little spin in mine today and was practicing handbrake turns snapped the both... duh

Whoops, not done a hand break turn for years

 

[t-tony]

You should know what I am like with colours Tony, mine was already red so left them at that, at least it saved me one descision, I do like the blue ones that I have seen, I was thinking of changing mine to yellow, I also think the caliper decals really enhance the look as well

Speaking of yellow, I did a split colour scheme on my Z3, like this.

Still look good 2 years later.

You know I think often of the things I need to do to make my car immaculate,but would I have as much fun? We have a Nissan 300z and it looks brilliant but the biggest smile I got was when the tyres were smoking and screaming for mercy

I like the yellow mate, should have done the retaining clips red for multi coloured

Immaculate or not, I'm sure I would have the same fun in both, I know what I prefer to drive though

Which was out done by the passenger no doubt. Frankie's never been the same!

Look what I found, angel eyes specifically for non projection head lights, ordered them last night from Hungary and got an email this morning saying that they had been posted and will be with me in a few days, they will still need some dremel action by the looks of it.

These are on my wish list, should be a few weeks though before the Zed fund is big enough

Are they a staggered set Sean, look nice wheels. What tyres will you put on them?

Yes mate, the fronts are 8.5 and the rear are 9.5, 18", not sure on tyres, what size would I need, but I need them before the Lakes meet so budget will determine what brand

 

[t-tony]

I think my 108's are on 255/35 18Y and 225/40 18Y. They came on good, Goodyear F1 Eagles.

IMHO, you are going to make it look like a Scooby mate....

I have considered the Scooby thing but I just love the combination of Blue and Gold,

You will be fine as yours is a 6 not a 4.. Just don't add a '555' sticker or a big can back box though.
