Cheers people :D I wanted a louvre for my old mk1 fiesta, but never found one, saw this, had to have it :twisted: I seem to have 2 3rd's of the kit :( i've got the bar in the middle, the clips at the bottom and the clips on the side, i think im missing the two that go in top corners? I'll have to get on of those kits by the sounds of it... I'll get pics soon :)

I attempted to get one Tom, a few emails lead nowhere though. Strange. I intend to try again though.

Attack, I wanted a louvre for my mk1 XR2. You have good taste! :lol: I found one, but when I was there buying panels, the guy wasn't 100% sure he wanted to part with it. Needless to say he never. I think it may have pissed me off though, as the centre bar rattled loads. :lol;

haha, there my bucket seats :) They got sent on a pallet covered in bubble wrap and then with some curtains wrapped around them. So there in my bedroom under the window with the curtains over them to stop them getting dusty :) I really should get my build thread up on here :roll: :D

It was me yeah mate. I had PM'd him a week or so before you replied on the thread and even resorted to tracking him down on other forums (E38). :lol: He finally text me, and then tried to get more money out of me, I told him to whistle for it. He done the same to Mystery Machine, hence his interest that went nowhere. Only cost me 20L of veg oil to get them. :D

I hope they look cool on a 300, I guess you had the same thought! They're like budget SSR MKII's to my mind :roll: . That said though, since found out that Gotti are French with strong jap connections, so maybe my sub-concious was right. :lol:

Can't wait to get em on. If I think they're too small, I will let you know - complete with 4x100-4x130 hubcentric adapters that push them out further. 8) (Solution, I hope!)

As both front and rear hubs come off, could you not simply, get hold of a spare set, and have them 'cross' drilled, so you've now got 8 holes in each mounting face, so you can run the badass wheels, or just ordinary steels if you need to :) Your gonna have trouble getting them under arches even with extensions :P lol

Never measured them, but I don't think there's enough meat on the hubs to accomodate a 4x130 PCD mate. I hope I am wrong though. :lol:

They'll fit! :mrgreen:

OMG! The All-Aggro 3 no less.

If there was the rear of any car you wouldn't use for an advert, it would be that of the podgy-arsed Aggy. :?

As you know, they aren't my cup of tea, but they do kind of work on some cars:

Nope. They really were/are prime Autoshite. :mrgreen:

The predecessor the Austin/Morris 1100/1300 were far superior machines. 8)
