Mikey Jay Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Won't 14's with 45 profile tyres make the car sit a tad low?(my 14's have 60 profile tyres on......) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Yeah 14's with 45 profile tyres will sit very low. But the wheels will look too small with 55/60 profile tyres on in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Nice one! Can't wait to see this all come together again mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 thanks gents!ok, bumper first: its been washed down to remove the leaves and shit, and i have removed the fog light from it too, even if i wanted to use it it crumbled in my hands, junk, IN THE BIN!Indicators - now these were fun! u would think simply remove bub carrier from UK spec unit and insert it in Late spec unit yes?? me too, BUT the UK spec carriers have a different fitting pattern than the Late spec carriers, so u would then think swap bulbs over into Late spec carriers yes?? me too, however, UK spec carriers require an offset pin pattern, Late spec require a straight pin pattern! FUCK SAKE! so, rather than buyin straight pin silvatec bulbs at £15, its easier to trim the fitting pattern of the UK spec bulb carrier (~1mm from one of the small blocks in the fitment pattern) and insert this into the Late spec unit!!HOW VERY FIDDLY!!!! typical toyota tho wouldnt u know!i know swapping clear units for other clear units seems daft, it did to me, but when u hold these babies in your hand and do a comparison, the late spec ones are SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much nicer! My thanks to both SiCaln and to Rick once again!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 awesome work Phil all working a-ok?glad my badgering paid off mate (excuse the pun)u gna get that whole bibreglassed over? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 yes mate, i have tested both sides and theres no issue, it was simply some plastic trimmin required, about 1mm each unit.and thanks for the advice man! relly appreciate it!yes dude, will have it covered over and smoothed off, probably just run the rear foggie i have now below the rear bumper, keep it simple for now.The car will be goin into storage tomorrow. The alfa is away for repairs and so my car will no longer be able to sit in the garage. Its simply not safe sittin in the driveway at present, so for the foreseeable future she is going into a secure location where I can have access to her anytime I need or want. It sucks as i'll now be reliant on other people for transport, but until we make other arrangements at least my baby will be safe and snug!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
