A quick vid showing the car as it is now!! Wheels and racks woo!!

Nice vid, love the barb wire "audi rings" Why does vimeo take about 5hours to load the vid for me though (slight exaggeration).

also not to spark up a bit debate but powdercoating vs 2pack paint? and any experiences with the places in melbourne to go as well as a rough price range?

when do you get back frenchy!? picking up adapters tomorrow and will do a trial fit and send you some sneaky pics... started refurbing the lips today. already a bazillion times better. still undecided on what colour to go with... at the moment silver is the colour of choice but i feel it is just sooooo boring. black i think will look semi-chat and a colour just wont look good... thinking possibly gold bolts to give it a bit more pop? but even then i'm undecided... opinions people?

A deep red would look good imo, stay away from black I think, its been done too much

[Jarred]

[Water Boy]

I think they look good as is. And BMW centres for the OME+ win.

opting for 215/40/18 up front and 235/40/18 out back
RIMTUCK.com - Wheel Fitment Database - great site for fitment.
actually maybe 225/40/18 on the rears..
