"Wilwood 4 Pot front calipers

^^ you wanting to stop a train?

You never hear of people crashing because their brakes are too good lol

That depends how bad the reaction times are of the driver behind

Whats full shoot? you mean full respray?

Oo are they 16" teledials too?

Teledials on it are its winter wheels, they're 16x7 and 16x8.

I love open airs! Id love one, very nice. Looks and sounds like a good build

Very nice, im heading in pretty much the same direction engine wise and internals etc, is there much difference between the bailey BOV to the forge semi-recirc BOV? Will look shit hot with the polished rocker cover and silicone

Later in the year tho

Yeah, there is a difference.
You might have issues running an atmospheric BOV with standard managment though. Mine's on DTA so I get away with it

This is too cool I've seen it ;p

Thanks, I'm looking forward to getting it back from the bodyshop next week.

I WILL TELL YOU -----MONEY

Painted the centre caps for the winter wheels (16' teledials)

took a while! there's a lot of detail on them!

Love teledials

Picked up some Azev E's to use as a second set of winter wheels when it's not at shows.
16x7.5j and 16x9j.



However, being that they are porsche fitment, the previous owner has fitted porsche centre caps... which are OK I suppose, but not to my taste.
Went in search of what should've been on there originally, see below



but decided I didn't like those either! Then there was the optional Azev Diamond caps which are even worse!



Started to lose the will to live and understood why the previous owner had opted for porsche badges now!

Then I thought, why don't I do my own, seeing as I know a place where I can have them made up in any design by a friend... So I've spent the last 40 minutes in photoshop knocking these up, which i'll have made as proper 3D Centre cap badges tomorrow.



Quite pleased with myself what does everyone think?

Also had an update from the body shop today, she's getting there, she's finally straight and has her final coat of primer on! so it's nearly time for base coat!

Like them, and good job on the center caps! Dying to see it when it's back from the shop!!!
