They look lovely. did you go with chemical dip or blast in the end?
Good work buddy!
:niceone::niceone: they look fantastic mate, they'll finish this car off nicely :cool:
Great pictures, really tidy underneath isn't it! :agree: have you had the Speedlines powder coated or painted? I've just chucked my old Speedlines on mine actually and am quite impressed with the feel :)
I haven't really taken any since I fitted them but I'll be at Scoffs on Sunday if you're going? My cars pretty low and it looks even lower with the 13's on. I don't actually think it is any lower mind as the tyres have a larger profile - it doesn't catch the exhaust on the pavement any more than it did before put it that way! :D
There's something about a freshly refurbed set of GTT alloys :D
One thing I have noticed straight away is that it wheel spins like hell with the smaller wheels on! :D
Got the wheels on today :D

Show winner!! :agree:

I just love this car
That looks awesome mate, one of my fav cars on rtoc. Defo one to be proud of pal:agree:
How much did the tyres set you back? Looks miles better on the original wheels:agree:
Jon, now were talking ... the finishing touch in my eyes....:agree:, ive a set of those tyres brand new , i may stick them on the phase 1...or sell um...very nice.
Thanks :)
Wheels an tyres came from the classifieds section on here, £100 delivered.
Wheels were very tatty paintwork wise, but worth that for just the tyres.

Thanks everyone :D
mint:agree::cool:
Looks spot on mate ,have you got the part number for rear beam brake pipe clips ?? Thanks Matt keep it up
Wow that looks spot one :agree: Incidentally I use Pirelli P600 tyres (they're old but in very good condition!)
I got Pirelli P600 on mine, good in dry but just as bad in wet.
Great, that's all I need to know with the November track day coming up! :D
Great project, lovely car. Just needs a smaller more subtle exhaust that fits in the recess. ;)
Had a final drive out of the year last weekend in the 5.
Forgot just how much turbo cars love the colder weather and also how little grip you have on the standard 13s. You cant not love torque steer :laugh:

See you in the spring :agree:
Sometimes, all you need in life is a nicely lowered Tungy GTT with a decent exhaust :cool:
EDIT - of course it helps if said GTT is utterly mint :D Looks like you need a new bonnet lining/carpet bud ;)
EDIT2 - I realise I said the first comment, more or less, on this very thread 18 months ago. It's as true now as it was then :D
Cheers for the comments Trev :)
True, the bonnet lining is past its best and a new one would really be the last piece needed to complete the puzzle.......but i cant get one anywhere :sad2:
I know of three brand new ones in existance but im not prepared to pay £250 :eek: for one.
And to think I sold my mint one to a fellow member a few months ago for £20, lol.
Btw, yours will probably come up well with some TLC. Brushing, clipping of loose strands, stitching, new fixings.
