Yeah Camskill are out of stock. Uber scrubbage is definitely on the cards, hopefully the new tyres will help that though!

Cheers Lewis. The Varis style have sold like hot cakes :lol:

Looks awesome, Seen an other Renult with this colour today, the more you see it the better it gets, the pictures don't do the colour justice.

Please please please try a JAM lip on with this bumper!! Would look the tits and lets face it, make the demo car stand out even more with all the Varis bumpers doing the rounds :)

I'll give it a try some time mate :)

Cheers for the comments guys. I've had the wheels shotblasted but can't paint them until I have this exam out of the way - off to revise I go, ciao!!

The plan was to have the wheels powder coated, but a day after dropped them off I was reminded by Shib786 about many horror stories of wheels literally cracking after being powder coated (including a set of his own). So I got straight on the phone to the company and asked them to have them just shot blasted so I can paint them myself..

Wheels cracking after powdercoating?? i just cant see this happening, when put in the oven its not a very high temperature at all and its a steady temperature gain and when taken out its not a sudden drop in temp so no way can they crack, ive had many wheels powdercoated and not one of them have cracked or had any defect, i hear this alot and i just cant see it happening, a very very cheap set of alloys made from crap then maybe, get them powdercoated iddy, youll be gutted when you get many stone chips in the paint B)

Here in Holland there is a Company that Powdercoat Rims all the time.. and no one includin me didn't come back..

So i think Shib786 has not a good company for powdercoating.. B)

aint most wheels powdercoated out of the factory??

I know who shib uses and i used them for my corsa wheels, finish is crap hence why i found a new powdercoaters in wakefield and there mint B)

One exam was awesome, answered every question with confidence. However the other was a nightmare, stated up all night revising but my mind went blank in the exam! :lol:

Right then, heres an update.. Not a very big one, but more detailed than normal as one of my mates came over who loves his photography!

I picked up another set of ARP headbolts so the head is fitted and the bottom end is back together. I'll hopefully get some more done tomorrow such as the sump, oil pick up and the turbo kit fitted.
