Thanks for the link mate. The tin looks "PHAT "- what's inside, will make ya "FAT" :-)

The paint job looks great too. I'm so glad to see you painted the lower sills red - it was my secret pet hate about your hatch. Now she looks even closer to the ground :-)

How long have you owned your beast anyway?

They have a 5 in inner and 5 in outer offset with the wheel centre goes in between the two offsets adding another 1/2in
