Yes sorry it is custom made using the stock bumper.
Top vent hole filled and smoothed over.
Lower vent hole cut open and upwards.
Fog light holes blanked over.
GS/V6 splitter added with the middle bracket removed patched and smoothed.

Got some poke going on!

Going for that "HELLAFLUSH" look I see. Are you going to run some stretched tires under there, or try and put something beefy and wide.

yeah I guess, if that phrase has to be used

Hopefully I'll be using my 195/50/15 tyres that are on my current wheels...

What offset are those rims?

youdirtyfox · Post by **youdirtyfox** » August 17th, 2011, 12:12 pm

15" x 8J. offset +15

those would be flushed if you slam your car. Do you have coil overs? I'm getting 17x8.25 +25mm

youdirtyfox · Post by **youdirtyfox** » August 17th, 2011, 1:17 pm

Yes I have XYZ SS coilovers.

youdirtyfox · Post by **youdirtyfox** » August 17th, 2011, 1:27 pm

Yes we'll see

Just bought a set of these lug nuts off ebay (where else!)
£24 for a set of 16 inclding key. Went for steel over aluminium as these are
cheaper once you take in to account customs charges for the US ones in lime green
tuner style alu lugs, and im really not keen on using alu lugs on steel threads if I wanted to give it some beans on a track one day!

Went to Hillsea Tyres to get a part worn 195/50/15 put on for £25, struck up a deal to get all my four tyres changed over to the new wheels and balanced for £30!
New wheel nuts turned up this morning too

Heres the pics...

Top of the tyre tread is very flush with the arch, so only a arch roll should be needed...
