Re: W1ggz's BB4
well i havent been able to find the centre caps as yet looks like they are a cheap chinese wheel so probably gonna struggle on that so they are going off to be sandblasted tomorrow before being resprayed.
In the last 2 weeks i have also bought a few more lil bits.
Feels front strut brace on ebay while i was at the guys house he also had a number plate tilter so had that as well,
picked up Gayno's lowering springs on the standard shocks so there ready to swap in as soon as i get the wheels back from paint.
purchased new NGK platinum plugs for £38 new cam cover gasket £15 just need new leeds and cambelt kit and im ready for service, had to go and buy new wheel nuts today and spigot rings that was £40 so i fitted them on to see how they will look, need a bigger tyre these are 205/40/17 ill be going for 225/45/17 when i get them back as all 4 tyres need replacing, still not 100% sure what colour to go for tho

if you want center caps take a picture of the center of the wheel to show the diameter. also can you measure the diameter in mm. i can get some discs machined ta work. i will also need to know how they would secure to the wheel and how thick they would need to be. failing that come to the yate meet and i can do all the measuring.

Re: W1ggz's BB4
I had MOT on friday and had an epic fail on the handbrake n/s only giving 4% efficiency with 2 hands pulling it up as far as possible, also both rear anti roll bar drop links shot and both front cv boots. so nothing major thankfully. I looked at the caliper and noticed it was looking rather shiny like brand new so took out the armrest and sure enough some1 had just gunned up the adjuster as far as it would go, released this and reset the caliper readjusted now the near side is the better side up to 26%, ive ordered the new boots and drop links £60 so that will be going on this week along as the suspension.
ill get some more pics today of a few other bits that are now ready to go on
