	That is properly well done - I even like the steels. I cant help thinking a decent set of alloys would probably suit it a bit more though?

	That is lovely, its back on the list, would prefer alloys too but 10/10 for those.

Ditto - definately looks like both wings have been tweaked - by about 2" judging from the profile of the sill. Looks absolutely superb!!!! Lovely subtle colour too, and those deep dished steels look so right ;D

	Are the steels off a truck of some sort? Might explain the size and chrome centers?

	That's bloody great! You're right, those are very subtle wheelarch mods, but they're there! I don't think those are lorry wheels, they don't look right, they're more like banded car steelies of some description, the hubcaps are definately off of a Volvo 264, possibly the original ones, here's another 264 using them

	That is the business. I guess they must have banded some 15/16in rims and then stepped it up on the lip to a larger diameter. Those arches are way cool too... I wouldn't change a thing ;D
