I get the SD1 EFI back next week after a full body repair and re-spray. Judging by what I've seen of the work in progress it should be an excellent job.
I've always thought - even with the 15" wheels - that it would suit larger ones. Anyone know what's the biggest wheel/tyre combination that would fit, and what make/style would suit it best? And they've got to be easy to clean. ;-)
Stick with 15"s and go wide rather than tall. IMHO old cars looks crap with huge wheels and tiny profile tyres on.
Yes - I wasn't intending to go to ultra low profile.
But the side on view looks to me like larger wheels would suit it better. End on the originals look ok width wise.
Ooh, nice... what colour?
20" Chrome spinners ;-)
Original black. ;-)
It's not nice seeing one of my age crying.
Nice... although I always rather liked the metallic blue they came in... 'moonraker blue'?
Hehehehehe :) It just wants some nice tame 5 spokes or something i reckon, flat spokes, maybe 17's. It would probly take bigger, but as has been said, older cars and huge wheels is odd :)
BASTARD.
I prefered the Nightfire Red.
Can you get 16" Revolutions?
Seconded. Sticking with the 14's on my Capri. Might get some minilites but still only 14's.
Thing is SD1 doesn't look 'old'. Well, not in the way others - like its predecessor, the P6, look old.
19's it is then :p
A nice, simple, clean five, six or seven spoke 16" design. Perhaps even
17s.Just be careful you don't fall into the Peugeot 206 / Renault Clio trap of having huge big wheels and standard (daft looking) brakes behind them.
Series 2 plastic bumper jobbie?
Yup. It's an EFI therefore Series 2.
i have been assued that the brakes from a jag can be made to fit with a resonable amount of swearing :)
Yeah I'm sure that's true. Actually, most things will fit most things with sufficient swearing.
I just wonder if kids - and they are kids - ever think of what they're doing? People think that modifying a car means fitting the biggest possible rims under the arches and those hideous Lexus-style rear lights.
Hey do you know if I just turn up at Ford Fair early enough I'll be able to get track time? :)
