Re: Mick's Red S3; New hoops!
But can you actually see anything meaningful with your F1's? Proper F1 mirrors are apparently useless in that regard!! And speaking of broken cricket bats, I broke my drivers side one yesterday and all I was doing was folding it ... something in it's internals went 'twang' and now it's just hanging there like a limp wristed hanging thingmc turbo wrote:thanks m8 but not half as beautiful as tofy i wish i had the money to buy it when it was on autotrader great buy! ps. the mirrors r F1 type mirrors i guess its not to everyones taste but definitely better than my broken cricket bats.chc wrote:Looking really good Mick and luv those rims![]()

bought the wheels off carl haywards widebody fb which was never driven on so practicly brand new, specs r 16 x 9 et 20 with 20mm hub centric spacers & 225/40/16 tyres all round[/quote]
I wanted those wheels too.
I wonder what Carl is planning to do with that car. I forgot to ask...
Btw, me and bro might do widebody kits for sale. But I dont know how much it would cost to send them to UK...

Re: Mick's Red S3; New hoops!
surprisingly its not too bad & is better than my old cricket bats as they stick further out than the old ones & weigh 1.5kg less as im trying to shed some weight! ive already removed the air pump, thermal reactor, old double s exhaust, replaced with a titanium back box which weighs 3kg, spare wheel, jack, headlight washer parts, rear wash bag, as they were`nt working anyway, & fiber glass bonnet, so probably lost @ least 60kg ! ps. any other weight saving suggestions welcome!KiwiDave wrote:But can you actually see anything meaningful with your F1's?
