Thanks EVERYONE for all the complimentary posts, I'm surprised the custom rear has fallen so positive, I was wondering how it would all pan out, and glad my ideas have been welcomed. I was pretty much forced to take the route I have, mainly because the exhaust dictated what we had to build around. Although I'm very pleased with the results. It looks different and that's exactly what I wanted. The CS bumper was always a winner, but with such a bold move, I had a fear it would be ruined. Although Taras has done a great job.
As Graham said, it's been a bit painful over the past year or so, with issues and distressing circumstances, but there's always light at the end of the tunnel. i now know exactly how Madmarky must have felt in the early days.
So as everyone has been talking 19's, I thought I'd have a check to see if they've been released yet. I checked about 3 weeks ago and prices still hadn't been announced, well they've now been released!! When viewing the Yen values against the rims, i noticed straight away these aren't going to be cheap. Rears 10.5 £638 and the fronts 9.5 £625, so it's going to cost I'd say including customs, shipping and tyres probably well over £3,500 - so it's a great big investment. Get the wrong wheels and it could go so horribly wrong, and that's what I want to avoid.
Here's the rims also now included are two other colours. Light Silver and Crystal White..... there's almost zero pics of the Crystal White on the web, but looking at the finish they look dead smart, but it's going to be far too out of my design plans. Light Silver is a possible but I wanted to darken the rims..... so it's the Prism Dark Silver (The first one in the pic)
