No worries

Ahh cool, I think I got 25mm addaptors all round, didnt worrie about working out et or anything just slapped them on, bashed the wheels on and BANG I got all round poke lol 
I love how it sits  

It sits really nice on them! Its one of them cases i think where they wouldnt look right on another car but they look well suited on yours, well done mister

Yer I got lucky, I really wanted a wheel I haven't seen on a mk1 can before (I've seen them on tin tops) and got them for a bloody good price… £53 lol 
And yer got rather lucky with the offset but lik u say and alot of my mates… They didnt think they would work but they work almost perfectly  

I wouldn't change the wheels for a long time! Everything else is far to common  
Unless u buy *Rare expencive* wheels!

But this is my daily, use it to and from work all over Suffolk every day  

Right, went to c mate Saturday up his unit to c my abf engine and chat about ribbish and came home with this



So hopefully gonna give it a clean up/spray, or get a quote to powdercoatedit

Give it a good rub down mate and clean it up and spray it. I did with my 20v stuff and was very surprised how good it came up.

Unless of course you have got mega ££££.
