Looks very nice Napalm, I have 2 questions though, how did ya get the Blue Dials and what did you use to get the Alpine Head Unit in, did you import a replacement part for the dash where the stock stereo goes?

Napalm · 04-02-2007, 11:02 PM

well me and my mate pulled out my dash and resoldered blue surface mount LED's in the dash (bought from EBAY for $29) and as for the Facia the guys from JB HIFI had a lot of trouble finding a fitting facia but found one through stinger for a focus...

Very nice, mate. Are those 17s? and what tyres r u using?

Is it lowered? if so by how much?

Napalm · 05-02-2007, 11:04 AM

no man they are 18's, im using silverstone somethings, and it is standard height, wanna get it lowered just funds dont allow for it yet...

joshf2 · 05-02-2007, 03:35 PM

those damn arches sure know how to make 18's still look small

Love the blue dials. Rims look nice too - they look like Panther Vectors.

i know 2 grand and they still dont look like 18''s, should look a little bigger when i lower it though, how low do you think i should have it?

Ives · 05-02-2007, 04:08 PM

Man, 18"!

You should take a side-picture or something.

Dead right, Its the design of the wheel that is the problem as well. The spokes stop about an inch into the rim, and then theres the outer lip.

If the spokes went all the way to the outer edge of the rim like mine, or like the MP3 rims, then it gives the effect of a bigger wheel.

Ives · 05-02-2007, 08:12 PM

Napalm (Trent?), what's the size of the tyres? also how wide are those rims?

That was the main reason behind my choice as well.

Not too sure, but I took a photo of my LX and Pie's Zetec nose-to-nose, and his is noticeably lower (although a bit of the height difference is because he has 15"s and I have 16"s.

photn · 10-02-2007, 10:07 AM

yer but those are WP's.....the WQ Zetec has Lower Springs, i think its something along 10-15mm.
