Never at this rate. Kind of broke my guard-roller so have to fix that, and my heat gun got stolen by the tradie that fixed a water-leak and its resulting damage.


Plus once I have the guards done they'll look silly on the car if I don't dump it completely, and they'll just scream out for the police to pull me over, which i dont want with a turbo kit sitting downstairs. Silliest wheel purchase EVAR!

Just put them on, you don't have to dump it for it to look good as the previous car with equips shows. Surely you're going to get the turbo engineered anyway so whats the problem?

Edit, realised you were in SA. Ill take the wheels off you if you don't want them. :mrgreen:

They won't fit on the back at the moment, the back guards are heaps harder to roll becaue they're way thicker metal. I need to get longer studs and spacers for the front too. Oh, and it does need to be dumped, they look weird at the back if they're not really low with wide low-offset wheels. Which isnt a problem as my coilovers will pretty much put the rails on the ground, but its just one more thing that makes it stand out to police.

Turbo kit, engineered, here? Hahahahahahaahaha. The word of a qualified and authorised engineer means sfa here if the monkeys at Regency decide in their tafe (at best) judgement that they don't like something, or if they just don't like you.
