And some steels, maybe matt black, strips. I'm combining options here. Or do the rally slag look...yeaaaa ;D
Get a bumper sticker that says "Driving it because I stole it" as well ;D

came home today, and had planned to see if i could get this thing running... remember it was sold to me with an ecu fault... and thankfully it stayed dry this evening... parked the favorat in front, and transferred the flywheel position sensor, cranked, no go. went to test the coil>dizzy lead for a spark at daverapids suggestion, no coil (duh!) but why would it be out, heyho, put that in from the other car. cranked, no go. swapped ecu. cranked. started 1st time. took stuff off and put it back on current daily favorat. looked around purple fav. has a nearly new air filter (OE) and approx 5000mile used oil filter. and very recent looking alternator belt. reconnected rad fan switch leads. has a full (brimmed) tank of petrol. so, this is good, we have running car, lets mot pronto as I'm have been SERIOUSLY stuck for a car as mot on favorat runs out thursday 19th october!! and it wont pass, not a hope. ring MOT booking line (stupid MOT centres where you have to book a month in advance) "whats the reg... are you sure?... that car is not due for MOT until june 2007? why? it has a current certificate...can i get a duplicate as none came with the car?...sure..." WOW. my prayers were answered in one big clump. just need to tidy and swap the insurance over tomorrow. yeehah! thought you's might like to know |

So these new computer based MOT's do have a plus side. Nice one! I've gone for the second option. Then drive it like you stole it.  |

Then drive it like you stole it. absolutely  Be pleased to oblige! thinking bumper stickers for sure. give me more options, i like that one, but need more cruising ones! thought of one so far: "lower than your grandads nips" and yes i meant that, cuz it probably wont be ground scraping given local speedbumphumping |

Glue a walnut whip to the grille badge. Might come in handy if you`re ever feeling a bit peckish on a long drive.

i voted "for dropped on ats classics or such, polished" but I'm not likeing the idea of polishing it.. also steels will do the job
just as well as ats classics or such, just get one's with some dish!

dish means fattttttt
and polished means lots of back to black, no 'patina' or 'worn look' or whatever the kids call it these days

I would get it really clean looking as its so rust free and lower slam it on some 13x8" Weller's. Keep it really really clean.
I'm getting a bit bored of everything being matt black now. I mean it still looks good but everyone is doing it.

to rescue this thread from page eleventyone!! please see attached pix, now its finally been taxed i can fit these and still seem semi-legal w00t also as referred to in most of above posts i have enlarged my tat/wheels collection to include 1 wolfrace street octane in 15'', black with polished rim. the other 3 will cost 4 times as much each though...   well, better than what i dragged off (rusted screws to boot)  |
