That spolier looks top!
But i've just messed myself over the Dippy alloys on your car! Just bought a set for £11 off ebay, wasgoing to put them on my 24v Senator until someone told me they don't fit!! Bugger! But no worries, they'll go on the hybrid & are bound to look a million billion times better than the x-spokes on it at the moment!!!

ET u mean ebay total? £175 as new with tyres 2 match He means the offset of the wheels, is a number (usually around 30-40) which is preceded by the letters ET. Usually stamped on the rims somewhere. My guess would be around ET42 if they're off an FWD vauxhall. |
