[puma jay]

hi mate cars looking good.

i wrote on your other thread asking if your wheelss are the et35 or 40 ones?

just wondering. and if your using spacers, and what size?

cheers jamie

[ScubaSteve]

hi sorry, not checked the other thread. Not sure what et they are without checking. They dont have spacers. Can check later if u like

[FlashBastd]

It is cast into the face of the wheel, behind the centre cap, between the bolt holes.

[ScubaSteve]

according to the guy i got em off they are et35, i will check for myself in a bit though and confirm, got them for 65 quid off ebay

[FlashBastd]

Bargain, the ET35's are pretty sought after, and quite rare.

The paintwork on your car looks incredible. Is it original? What valeting products do you use?

[ScubaSteve]

original paint yes, always used P21S, and just applied some jetseal actually, jsut fitted them anthracite premium puma mats too, no pics yet, some more pics for the sake of it though










Then Jetsealed the body






Took my spare wheel and tray out ready to fit the new abs sensor when it arrives, added another coat of hammerite to the boot floor and surrounding areas, and repainted the rear beam

[ScubaSteve]

new mats

[Puma2010]

Looks superb.

front ford mudflaps on

[FlashBastd]

Those mats are lovely, circa £50? I would always be worried about ruining them though, so I have the rubber ones instead.

[ScubaSteve]

yep 50 quid but he gave me discount worked out about 42 i think

[ScubaSteve]

Some spring cleaning under the bonnet



oh and 300mm brakes ordered

[ScubaSteve]

Took a risk and got some 300mm brake calipers off ebay for 40 quid for both. This will be an upgrade 258mm > 300mm

Arrived today and were in a bit of a sorry looking state




Dismantled them and all seals and pistons were in good condition



So carried on with the refurb, after an hour or two with the dremel and applied first coat of Silver



Looking good so far
