Yeah it would, I'm sure it would have looked great!
I'm not quite sure how many sets of wheels I've had now that I haven't fitted!
Hopefully the CH's go on before I change my mind again ;-)

yeh and hopefully you take pics to lol

I will! Lol

Ok, so you know how I was deffo gonna put pics up of the CH's on my car....???
Well they never made it on it lol I sold them!
I got sick to death of randomly buyingbrims that I wasn't really happy with, so I decided I had to hold out for the set I thought I would never be able to get my hands on, but I did!!!
My most favourite wheels ever, MAE crown jewel/monoblocks!! :-)
I got them from Germany, the transaction took about 6 weeks to complete, and I even flew over there to check them and pack them before sending them over here, that is how mad I am in these rims lol!
Some pics!

Was chuffed to bits when they arrived!


Trial fit


Then we mixed this


Which did this :-D

Damn iPhone, I wasn't finished lol- more!

Trial fitted with Tyres on


Going to space a little further at the rear then more lows!

My car now looks like this and we have 28 days to finish her, so regular updates coming!

Will do! Now got photobucket on the iPhone, no stopping me! Lol

looking good michelle. cant wait to see her finished

Been busy today!
Roof sanded off


Grilles and mirrors sanded


Door handles re-smoothed



Trial fitment on the rear with a little more space


Really pleased with that, so for the sake of the Tyres, a must, arches pulled!


Front


Those pics of the pulled arches are with the 16's on though, not the new rims, they won't be swallowed up like that, they'll be nicely hugged! Lol
And that is today's progress! :-)

looking good mate
do you have the arch roller there ?????

Yes we do! :-)

how much to roll the arches on my golf im taking the plastic things that are on it at the mo

Unfortunately we don't offer it as a service, there's so many variables to it, don't know if you can see from the pics, but I've had to have filler work done in the arches afterwards, the paint can crack, if the arches aren't in good condition they could split etc etc, and we just don't want to be held liable. We do it at our own risk because we can repair it.
However, we do hire it out for you to use yourself at the unit if you want to for £40
Hope you understand what I mean lol :-)

100% mate my car is satin black so cracking paint is not a problem lol but yes that sounds good to me im going to put some new wings on the front and il pop in

Lovely! Give us a shout if you ever want to pop down :-)

This is it today... Stripped!

Side markers arrived to be grafted into the bumpers front and back


Paint all scuffed up ready for priming and fresh paint


Custom helper springs arrived fir more lows, and boy do they go low!


And US tailgate here we come!


Oooh and I got me a daily!

So how long before the daily has rims and lows????

Hopefully never! Lol but we do have a set if direct fit 19's kicking around the unit that I'm trying not to put on! But seriously, I want this to be my to and from work and my multi-storey car park car lol

Just thought while I was at it I'd put up a couple of pics of my fellas car that we finished last month fir the show on the brayford in Lincoln.
I will just point out that I know he has an air ride boot install but his car isn't very low on the 20's, but he's waiting for his struts to arrive :-)
