Cheers mate. Apparently it's a marmite colour since opinion is split 50/50 between all the folks that have seen it in the bodyshop.

Thanks. Fronts will be 8.5J ET46 with 225/40 and rears are 11J ET28 with 295/30. We haven't widened the track at the front yet and so the fronts in the above picture as still inset by around 25mm or so.

Thanks. Indeed it is - it was always going to be Signal Green although I did momentarily have my doubts when I thought that GP White would be a more sensible option.

Sadly no updates as yet. I think the only thing that's been done to the car over the past couple of months are the manual wing mirrors have been fitted to help shunt the car around the workshop. My mate has just been too busy to work on it. With hindsight I should have taken the car to somewhere like Jaz to get the RWD conversion done at least, in fact I may still do that. I should hopefully have some updates within the next few weeks - fingers crossed

Beautiful build.

I've got a C4 with genuine 993 body work on it.
I'm looking at getting wider and more dished wheels.

How does the 11J ET28 fit on your car when its sitting on the ground?
The RS/R? is a ET5 if my readings are correct.
23mm is a big difference.

I'm trying to work out the best offset for my car. Its still a standard C4 underbody, so all NB.

Thanks in advance for any help
