I like those Work XD9s. I notice your rear tyres are on backwards, I'd suggest swapping those around unless you want the back to really step out in the wet. Enjoy the car

Thanks, all styling mods should be credited to the previous owner. I dont think I will make any changes as it look great as is.

STRI GAUGES Received these 52mm gauges from STRI, very nice quality, titanium finish. Custom gauge pod I got from a dude in the UK. This pod fits where the centre console air vents are located. Not to everyone’s taste getting rid of the vents but I don’t care as I don’t have A/C as this car aint a daily. Just gotta paint the pod and centre console.    Will add photos when, should look good like stock Im hoping.
