The old girl keeps popping up
I sold it for 4k, it's had new boots & an uprated clutch kit since I sold it.
I'm unsure where the 25k miles LET came from
The mileage that engine has done is completely unknown. _________________ The snotter |

Yeh they did look good in white, very eye catching. A pain in the f*&kin' arse to keep clean though! Every time I took it out they were filthy. Black is so much more user friendly _________________ The snotter |

I did them in a satin black finish that is very good at hiding the dust. I rarely felt the need to clean them.
I had to clean the white wheels inside & out every time I drove it, a little ocd really but I hate wheel dust. The satin black cured me _________________ The snotter |
