Lovely car, I really like BOCs. Overriders looks great, I recently fitted mine too :D The respray looks really good, it's coming together now! The Golf looks smart too.

The golf is my pride and joy. Had her for years. I hardly ever drive it. It just sits on my drive. Shame really.

Thanks mate. I have front brakes to fit, wider arches and it is ready for its MOT

Mini has been on hold for a while now.
A combination of rubbish weather, working weekends and buying a house.
But i managed to get out there for an hour and fitted my new arches.
Painted in Pearl metallic black to go with the metallic brg.

Getting a bit excited now because its not far off completion.
