Hey Bean black roof & arches looks shmexi

Lisa likes

Deathrow: I just wanted wellers really bad hehe

I don't blame you, I'd get some for mine if they didn't seem to be so hard to find and I could get them in the offset I want. But I'm sure I will live with some 12x6 Revos.

Aww wow! those look brilliant! I think it would look over arched with arches, think the chrome strip would look pretty cool!

[minili]

But they're illegal without arches, they stick out too much...



...Otherwise I would! They do look sexy but they're just not legal Group 2s fit them quite well, I don't think the arches will look too big

not bad not bad! looks like you are toeing in a bit on the back. got this with fifi atm. scrubbing the rear tyres a bit!

I would have said they're just about legal actually, They will pass an MOT however wide they stick out, it's just in case a copper notices and decides to be petty enough to stop you. My wellers are 5 1/2 wide, and they are deffo illegal whithout arches, but those are only half an inch wider then the original minilights you had on before, so would probs be ok.

Awesome shoes by the way

What does that mean? Someone else has told me before... Is it the wheels pointing in towards each other as opposed to straight ahead? What can you do about it, I don;t know what causes it so don't know how to fix it

Thanks haha they're my old shoes now, I have some uberly gorgeous Vans so my Etnies are my work shoes
THe wheels do stick out quite alot though, I don't really want to risk being pulled over and fined or even worse having the car impounded I'd be just my luck too so I'm reluctant to do it

i am resorting to putting the standard camber brackets back on fifi to counteract this i think. may try shimming the existing brackets and see if this makes an iota of difference.
am doing the brackets next saturday and will tell u if it works on sunday

Thanks for the heads up Bean, but I think I've set my heart on some 12x6 Revos now, they'll work well with the look I'm going for.

Nice shoes Lisa!

Group 2's should fit it just nice, either that or get some of those standard jobbies, like come on Mayfairs and Designers.

I've already got standard arches I took them off ages ago! Lol

All went well today, here's my baby now



Undecided what colour to paint the arches which is why they are still white Thinking black though

We went for a quick drive and got a couple of photos but they are blurry which is annoying, probably due to the light starting to fade... Here's my favourite anyway



What do you think? Good? He looks so different to how he did last week!
