That's my handle! Theirs a reason for everything!!

You could have atleast wound out the bolts to put a gap between them and the calipers you mong
Get them anodised haha x

Just for comparisons' sake, the R26R came with a Titanium exhaust option which weighs something stupid like 5kg... it was a £2,800 option on the cars when new... Titanium is BONKERS expensive...
RE: Sean's (& Ed's & Scott's) Astor GTi6 - Just Sean - 05-08-2013
Its just to see tbh!
My mates Ferrari is a titanium exhaust and that's 7k! And the engines in the boot!!!
And are you bonkers! THeir won't be a gap when they're on the car!

So, I've had a funny week!
Flat seated bolts in tapered wheels is a bad mix. My mate took my car to halfords, on his way their the car developed a wobble and banging through the steering wheel. He got out and realised i was missig a wheel bolt...he drove straight home and straight into the motorclub. On further inspection we noted that the nut was indeed fitted, but had sheared! Oh dear! We stuck it on the ramp and tried to remove the other 3 nuts... Only 1 came out whole. Shit!
So we started removing the other 3 wheels and different nuts were used, so luckily it was just the drivers side hub that was f*cked.
Stripped it down wednesday night and checked prices of a new hub. Then i checked to see if the hub from the hdi would fit... It did! Hurah!
2200 and ive got to pack up and take the key back and get to supper as im working a night shift...
Up at 1430 the following day to start on the rebuild...
While the car was in the air I changed the exhaust rubbers, exhaust sits a bit better. Also checked rear subframe for rust and we're good their too.
Lowered the suspension a bit, and adjusted the drop links to suit.
Also fitted my new boot n bonnet badges from gareth.
Changed the hubs and stuck my mo5s on.
She's looking fairly sweet now!
Looking forward to rolling with the yellow! Pictures to follow!

RE: Sean's (& Ed's & Scott's) Astor GTi6 - Poodle - 16-08-2013
Please take them off the car before painting them.
RE: Sean's (& Ed's & Scott's) Astor GTi6 - Grant - 16-08-2013
Those badges look awesome against the grey dude. I'm with you on the wheels, I think they would be too much all yellow but the inners yellow would look the nutssss!
Nice work dude
RE: Sean's (& Ed's & Scott's) Astor GTi6 - Kezzieboy - 16-08-2013

RE: Sean's (& Ed's & Scott's) Astor GTi6 - ginge191 - 16-08-2013
wheels look good, but not as a whole when you've got an astor car, red brakes, yellow pug badge and white wheels - all together a bit tacky for my liking
RE: Sean's (& Ed's & Scott's) Astor GTi6 - Kezzieboy - 16-08-2013
It's really hard to get photos of white wheels without horribly over-exposing them
I'll try and do a 'shop, but I don't think there's enough contrast.
RE: Sean's (& Ed's & Scott's) Astor GTi6 - Just Sean - 16-08-2013
Work in progress Ginge. Got yellow 4 pots to fit and rear calipers need painting. It'll all be astor, yellow and white wheels soon
RE: Sean's (& Ed's & Scott's) Astor GTi6 - ginge191 - 16-08-2013
astor + yellow all round should like quite smart! look forward to the end result!
RE: Sean's (& Ed's & Scott's) Astor GTi6 - Kezzieboy - 16-08-2013
Just a quickie with yellow wheels and astor-ish calipers and centre caps
RE: Sean's (& Ed's & Scott's) Astor GTi6 - Jonny81191 - 16-08-2013
Do it. Don't even think about it just do it.
