I love offset. Posts: 8,729 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: November 2, 2005	^^ many thanks mate, appreciate it thanks to all! many hours spent under that car! PS Chrismatheou they are Kerscher Carmona not Borbet A's, the Borbets are a little more angular. Very similar though.;)

Autophile. Posts: 1,010 Group: Members Member #3,753 Joined: January 23, 2009	Looking through the line up, Wow, what a range of 190's. I think there is only myself on steel wheels and trims...everyone else is sporting some wonderful alloys. If anybody thinks 190's are 'lack-lustre' they really need to look at this months collection...brilliant chaps, everyone Good luck to everyone....

The small holes left by the small flat badge just weld with a tack each and the top big hole i welded a plate into it, ground it up and hey presto. I do prefer the look plus with the big star on there, i think its too much with the top star and the small flat badge. plus the pikeys can't nick the star!!

I finished up by carefully grinding up the welds to achieve a smooth level surface so i didn't have to use filler. It took about 15mins to do. I believe the frame is chromed steel but anybody feel free to correct me.

(Hint: rubbish bins etc in background unlikely to get my vote ;-)) Good action perspective, a feeling of movement even though car is stationary, effective light and shade... daveronimo!
