These arrived finally



New stickys




Being my garage was full...
I got a new one..
ita a tad small tho :lol:




So was loading the car on the trailer..
And heard a bang..
Couldnt figure it out for a while..

Then i looked closely in the car and noticed something was missing..
Looked under the car to find this ..



Anyway
Pulled off the wings,bonnet and front filler bar..
Must take out the rear subframe to change for the VT one



Then left the slicks up against the car to see what they would look like..
PHATT!! 8)


Hubs gone
