Once you've made five posts, you can post as many pictures (and links) as you like .

Tell us what colour it is, and that will make three .

Loving the wheels.

Does the parcel shelf stay in that position or can it close?

 

[Disco2]

Lol yea it closes I'm holding it up in the pic. Also has a component set in the front doors running of an Orion amp for them and the shelf speakers,the alpine sub running of a ssl 4000 watt digital amp ?

Looks lovely, just make sure you tell your Insurers what you have done.
Round here the police seem to be quite hot on stopping modified cars, checking whether any mods are disclosed with the insurers and if not it's on a low loader to the scrap yard.

Looking good, Those wheels sure fill the arches, is the ride not a bit firm?

Watch out for potholes. My OEM 15" wheels with 195-45 tyres were trashed by the Devon roads.

Fiat wheels aren't particularly strong; they don't usually stay long in breakers yards as they're always in high demand.

I still need to be careful of potholes on 13" wheels and 80 profile tyres.

 

[DaveMcT]

My wife's has the 13" steels and we are both careful to avoid potholes, but we all get caught out sooner or later. Yet her's are as good as new while my alloys are sat in the garage waiting for the money to have them straightened.

To be fair the alloys were not perfect when I bought the car but they do seem to be very fragile.

It is but not as bad as you may think. I lowered it another 10mm today not sure if it's to low now tho lol. Next mod this Saturday ? I'm going to do a center exhaust plan is to have the tip of the rear pipe exit through the bumper ?

I would think it could be a problem, if you carry any passengers or any extra weight.
I wouldn't lower mine as I find it useful to be able to carry passengers, topsoil, compost etc without the tyres getting torn apart on the bodywork.

The 4x4 exhaust box runs across the back of the car. The 2WD cars have a smaller box on the left. You'd be better with a large 4x4 stye box absorbent box that simply exits in the usual place.
