A V8 in the UK???

How much is petrol per litre now??? When I left the UK in Oct 2000, it was around .89p/litre. I'm sure it's increased since then....

Nice wheels.

Dan

Thanks for all the responses.

The rims are Hammann anniversary 22" with 310 x 30 tyres all round. I had the rims refurbished by Lepsoms in the UK. This included powdercoating the entire rim in black after removing the stainless lips.

I then added 1.25" hub centric spacers to the rear to make up for the off-set and bring the rears level with the rear arches. These pics were taken pre rear spacers being fitted.

The ride is not much harder than the 19" sports (let me know if you want to buy a set). I did had the 4 wheel allingment done with the 22" rims on the car. So I get no vibration or pulling.

I also had my dentist check all my fillings before driving.

I do have an irrational fear of kerbs & pot holes now.

The exhaust tips I bought on e-bay and they slotted over the existing black tips.

Now all I want is to add the 4.6 bumper trims (front & rear).

I will post some more pics when the rain stops. Being the UK this could take a while.

Many Thanks

Bruce

I think there will be some people interested in finding out which eBay seller you got those tips from that slip on rather than requiring cutting and welding.
