Are the second photos after wheel change or has it got different ones on both sides

Give it a wash and get some trim restorer on the bumpers to get them black, it makes a huge difference

Nice wheels - keep us updated while you gut it

Well done Lee got one at last, mind you I must say those wheels would have looked great on a certain GLE saloon lol

just a minor point ( any comments welcome ) are the three door cars seats really safe for drifting or any form of racing , I wondered if the folding mechanism might make them weaker than the seats from a
four / five door,

I think a nice set of corbeaus or cobras might be the way to go

Isn´t that car way too beautifull to spoil it for drifting?

Posted: **31 Jan 2006 05:38 pm**

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if Nav's car is anything to go by, building a drift car is not necessarily spoiling it!
