Thanx for ur help so far guys, I cant belive how far away every vitesse item on ebay is from Norfolk though Rolling Eyes

Having said that, 3528cc has contacted me with loads a bits available so it may be worth a long dive if i can get enough bits i need in one hit!!

There are some Vitesse wheels at RPI i think,sat on a Red SD1 Resto project which got finished but now belongs to Chris (the boss).

He may sell them so might be worth a ring or i can find out for you if you would like me to? Wink

Think once i move down,me you and K5 should meet up for a night and spend sometime on this SD1 project of yours Cool

Getting a little team together Laughing

Jag brakes a bonus but vitesse will do, as for springs! lower the better but still want it to be reasonable drive, think i will go for the rimmers 30mm lower than vitesse ones if no better solutions come up!!! just alot of coin! but its prob worth the wait Cool

Its fairly low anyway I thought? try the vitesse rims first and see how it looks? You have huge 175/80/14 section tyres at the moment so going down to 205/60/15's may drop it abit

You have a point there tim, I agree the back looks quite low Confused

I jus think the car will need stiffer springs (prob uprated shocks too) once its got some "POWER"!!! Twisted Evil

They do look cool with slicks Cool

He also has another rather grubby looking set,might be worth a re-furb.
Plus other bits and bobs,gearboxes etc Wink
