Phase 2 alloys? Do you mean the 11 spokes? If so I paid a smidge over £200 for a set 3 years ago that were badly curbed (for a car 4 cars ago)... probably closer to £400 for a decent set...

WalkerDnB 07-07-12 07:38 AM

thanks for the reply :) yeah 11 spokes
will keep my eye out for some then.

WalkerDnB 22-07-12 08:26 PM

quick question just about to by a oil catch tank
do I need 9mm fuel line pipe and is there anything else I should know?

andys1981 22-07-12 09:39 PM

it was 9mm i used in my last 180,ive heard folk using 10mm though

WalkerDnB 22-07-12 09:56 PM

Thanks mate :) Looks like its just as cheep at hellfrauds as ebay so ill get it there :)

DuckFeet 23-07-12 01:50 PM

Is that anthracite or that navy blue-ish one that is a lot rarer? Looks good though.

5-spokes really suit that colour *COUGH* :)

WalkerDnB 24-07-12 03:55 PM

I think the blue is quite rare I haven't seen many about
I could be wrong though

WalkerDnB 29-07-12 12:51 AM

Got abit bored today so though I'd go on a little cruze to longbridge
bit sad that its pretty much all gone now :/
while I was there I thought I might as well get a photo :)

Smokey 29-07-12 09:49 AM

It does look good. I'd get some while bulbs though to brighten things up (so to speak lol)

WalkerDnB 29-07-12 10:21 AM

they are white bulbs (cheep ones though) they haven't showed up very bright in the pics probably because it wasn't that dark.

Smokey 29-07-12 10:26 AM

Ah, got you.Still a great shot :)

WalkerDnB 14-08-12 09:12 PM

Anyone know what size centre cap is needed for the zs mk2 11 spoke alloys
I forgot to measure them before I sent them away lol

WalkerDnB 21-08-12 05:40 PM

anyone? Pleaseeeee

POMPSKI 21-08-12 05:46 PM

I know the size of the badge insert - 45mm

Cant remember the whole cap size though, 59mm rings a bell.

john180 21-08-12 10:34 PM

That shine looks amazing!!! very tidy motor!! :)

WalkerDnB 23-08-12 09:58 PM

Thanks few things should be done soon
got the parts just not fitted yet

Steven11 23-08-12 10:45 PM

Lovely car you have there. Use to be a valeter and found dark colours much harder to maintain. Hope your up for the challenge.

WalkerDnB 23-08-12 11:20 PM

Yeah my other cars black aswell bit of a nightmare lol

Steven11 24-08-12 08:46 AM
