That is fantastic work. Is that a period tennis racket on the parcel shelf? ATS classics a bit 'obvious' IMHO, but very quick and dirty: Cheers, just wanted to see what it looked like, am gonna stick with 14" steels, cheaper too Yeah, a '70s Dunlop racket! I'm going to make it kind of a trademark and have something different on the shelf every week, got a skateboard deck for next week no greasy marks like with the green gel Autoglym stuff I hate that especially on the glass.

Yes! that is very cool - booted Polos rule I reckon 15" ATS classics would look ace - with some 165 x 45 Contis streeeeetched over them. Obviously in addition to a healthy hit with the infamous 'stick' (Venom do a -70mm 'Viper' kit which is very reasonably priced) 14" steels with 45 profile rubber is also a very good choice A solution to your bumps in the vinyl over the badge holes - would be to replace the badges on top of the chequers? Just a thought? LOL @ using shoe polish a bumper blackener - my Dad's been using Sainsbury own brand shoe polish on the wheel arches of his Corsa for years now - he's probably got the only Corsa in Northants without the arches in that horrible light grey colour that they all go ;D

Thats looks ace, I'm loving the boot as opposed to doing the bonnet/roof, keep the steels hit the deck, it rocks!

I'm thinking the 14" non-dished Classics would look best, and then a lot of lowering
btw, ive found that one of the best things for black plastics is the stuff made be Sonax, slightly more expensive than boot polish, but gives a cracking finish

Thanks for all the comments It's going to get the beating of its life with the stick when its back on the road, I might even get a run up ;D I wasn`t sure about sticking the badges back on as I didn`t want to spoil the look of the checks but I think I'm gonna have to. I think I'll paint the raised faces of them in body colour
