Shined up a treat mate, the reflections pop more now

January Auto Italia magazine arrived last week (how does that work, came here in November?) but has a nice feature with a certain green Sprint driven and owned by our own Ted

Ha Ha that wasn't it Kev. Didn't like the sit-up and beg look so lowered the rear by 30mm. Really growing on me Keith - 17" wheels coming next week,going different to the norm. Will post pics for discussion yay or nay next w/end.

Whoops, didn't notice that.
Just looked shinier in the bottom pic so assumed the polish had been out

There are, was flicking through it when I saw a lovely green Sprint then noticed Ted driving it!

Pics as promised. Yay or nay ?

Definite yay

Looking good

Looks smart Tony, it is bringing the "lad" out in you.

Just thought it needed a little something without following the herd.

I do actually quite like the wheels Tony, I'm never a big fan of anything but OE so that's a surprise!

Just needs these though

Was looking for Abarth multispokes but couldn't find any. These are Compomotive MO 5's, centre cap is 63mm.

These guys say message them for centre bore size so guess they'd have some? If not they have domed stickers which I've used before and if like I bought are actually quite a thick rubbery domed badge that looks the part and stick well, I put some on my old Dedra turbo once years ago and they looked good and still on, not like trying to put a paper sticker on..

A dash of red in the centre would make them pop

If only I had somewhere to keep this.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Extremely-Ra ... :rk:1:pf:0

Hmm, interesting. Any idea why they built a few over here. What do you like about it, as i have always found them unappealing despite liking similar shaped NSU's.

John Fitch did an after-market kit to make these handle properly. Google him. Bet Lauren knows all about him.
