[Optispart]

nice defo de-bumpstrip though i was well happy when i did mine

 

[g2oo8]

yeah a might do mate was it hard to do ??

 

[Optispart]

no, i used t-cut and auto glym tar remover and a plastick knife, but probs easier to use petrol and a toffee wheel for a drill look on ebay.

 

[g2oo8]

how do u acctually get them off since they stuck on quite good lol
hair dryer to losen the glue ??

 

[joesouthgate]

yer loosen them with a hairdryer, its fairly easy mate.

 

[Scott Cruz]

Nice car mate, and nice list of future mods!

Have a look through the posts tho, Im sure I saw one the other day where someone said they fitted 15inch alloys and now their car is really slow.

You got any pics of the car with the steelies and trims painted black?

I am thinking of doing it to mine and Id like to get an idea of what it will look like.

 

[joesouthgate]

yer 15s on a 1.0 does make it a lot slower! I would go for 14s or some nice 13a.

 

[g2oo8]

aww right
why do them make it slower ????
av seen some lovely 15s with 45 tyres and locking nuts for £350
any ideas where a can get some 14s or13s from then ??
wb
Gav

 

[joesouthgate]

they will make you slower due to the fact that they will be heavier and a larger circumference. look on ebay for 13s or 14s.

 

[g2oo8]
