    these are my current alloys, Fox R4's. I wasn't too keen on them when i first picked them up but i'velearnt to live with them


    & these are my old wheels. I really liked these but they were just too weak & didn't like potholes

    Cheers, my last car was just a normal 855 glt, it'd been rica'd,K&N'd etc... the usually stuff, sadly wrote it off one night pulling out from behind a parked car on the wrong side of the road. Someone bought it off me and apparently it's now on the road again.....somewhere...

    i was looking for someone with the exhaust coming out the side skirt lol. I guess you mean my twin exit?

    Powerflow made it for me, it goes thru the rear beam/suspension the same as the normal exhaust then a Y-piece splits the 2. The passenger side carries on as normal & the other side goes under the spare wheel well & out that side. I just used a Dremmel to cut the bumper the other side (think there might of been a small angle section that needed grinding as well)
