Shined up a treat mate, the reflections pop more now

January Auto Italia magazine arrived last week (how does that work, came here in November?) but has a nice feature with a certain green Sprint driven and owned by our own Ted

Ha Ha that wasn't it Kev. Didn't like the sit-up and beg look so lowered the rear by 30mm. Really growing on me Keith - 17" wheels coming next week,going different to the norm. Will post pics for discussion yay or nay next w/end.

Whoops, didn't notice that.
Just looked shinier in the bottom pic so assumed the polish had been out

Just thought it needed a little something without following the herd.

[KevJTD]

I do actually quite like the wheels Tony, I'm never a big fan of anything but OE so that's a surprise!

Just needs these though

Was looking for Abarth multispokes but couldn't find any. These are Compomotive MO 5's, centre cap is 63mm.

[KevJTD]

These guys say message them for centre bore size so guess they'd have some? If not they have domed stickers which I've used before and if like I bought are actually quite a thick rubbery domed badge that looks the part and stick well, I put some on my old Dedra turbo once years ago and they looked good and still on, not like trying to put a paper sticker on..

A dash of red in the centre would make them pop

If only I had somewhere to keep this.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Extremely-Ra ... :rk:1:pf:0

[junior]

Hmm, interesting. Any idea why they built a few over here. What do you like about it, as i have always found them unappealing despite liking similar shaped NSU's.

[Sud 145]

John Fitch did an after-market kit to make these handle properly. Google him. Bet Lauren knows all about him.
