[r5_scotty]

so been doing a bit of rebuilding on me five

resprayed the front end ,engine bay ,wings ,bonnet ,grill etc
new engine built installed
slowly comin together

opinions on the wheels :) never seen a five with them :agree:

think iv made a mistake with the tyres.
fitted yokahoma parada spec 2s but think they look too big on the rim really.

just wana see different peoples views on it. want it to be different:D

not after being slatted if its not to everyones taste lol

[jesus in the seat of a 5]

buddy , that looks a thousand times better, well done lad!!!, euro ole school kool..:D

[kial]

looks very nice. keep the tyres they look just as good mate gives it a bad ass look haha

[r5_scotty]

to those who know the car heres some pics on why it was resprayed again! i took the engine out and found . . . . well not as bad as many fives but alot of flakey bits:D
sorted now tho. still glad i brought the little five tho,given me many journeys and alot of fun.

This car is completely fit in my opinion mate and I would leave it exactly how it is on the outside mate and I'll second what Jesus said its all about the old school look mate ;) top job looks a proper car :agree:

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Looks amazing, cant wait to see it in the flesh :)

[chris]

Looks really good mate i like the tyres i think it all ties in together love the wheels

[Tutuur]

Wow! Car looks really good mate!
Love the ph.1 style!

Wheels suit it too!

[Trevhib]

I remember when this car was rebuilt by the previous owner. It looked such a good job, I can't believe the paint went like that. :disagree:

I like the wheels and the new colour :)

I'd use a colour coded ph2 grille in the absence of an original ph1 grille, try and get some ph1 decals and lower it a touch. They would be my choices anyway :agree:

[rainey_y2k]

Wheels look absolutely spot on! Where did you get them from buddy?

[LiamR]

I think it looks great mate. Very impressed.

Keep up the good work!

[sieger]

nice work, I also got an set of those wheels in my shed :cool:

[scratcher]

Have I missed something, or is this the same car?
Either way, it's pretty damn cool!

I'd just lower it a touch, ditch the blue strips in the front bumper and get some unpainted mirrors on there.
Then wax, wax, wax :) but I'm sad like that.

[GT Josh]

Looks mint mate... Win win

[5alldaway]

i like it, looks very retro and looks close to the phase 1 leccy blue which is my favourite gtt

[Jonny5]

[Phoenix Autosport]
