New wheels and suspension.
« on: 16 August 2008, 09:32:26 »
Fitted a set of Elites and new Kumho tyres and at the same time replaced the springs and shocks with new stiffer and uprated GM items.
Ride is a bit firmer but not too bad for these poor roads over here.

Hello Mathew
I got it off E bay way back early '07 from a company called Europcar in Germany . I think it was about £40 delivered to Ireland. Great quality ,powder coated and fits like a glove. The badge fitted is a GM Dealer sport lapel pin badge with the pin part removed and then glued to the grill.
And once again thanks for the feed back lads .I've had it for 5 years now and see no point in replacing it.
Now all I need is a nice facelift leather interior in black or dark grey....  ;)
