Tell me about it...
Sorry, thanks for the offer, but I'm not into 4spokes. Although they do look nice on your motor.

7's all round in that offset would of done it. As said, too narrow at the front and too wide on the back!
Good luck finding something else

Re: Ford Fiesta Mk3.5' Projekt OEM+: Allycats On...
The stance from behind looks fine to me. The reason they don't look so good from the side at the moment is because the car is un arched. Get some RS/XR arches and match it up with a rear SI bumper and it will look fine. What sizes are the tyres?

Re: Ford Fiesta Mk3.5' Projekt OEM+: Allycats On...
Personally I think it looks pretty good on the Wellers so would run those or some 14" Si steelies
As has already been said the Alleycats are too thin on the front and too wide on the back, the angles and quality of photos dont help either
Alleycats should sell easily on xrtwo, wheel whores, retro rides or old skool ford

Re: Ford Fiesta Mk3.5' Projekt OEM+: Allycats On...
You never know.
Gotta pay off a trip to Amsterdam before I spend some money on these sexy things.
I've bought a few goodies online today, such as a standard rear light cluster from Germany. Instead of spraying over the stupid annoying reverse light square I have bought the German ones, as their reverse light is on the other side. Good mod!
Plus bought a roll of suede material which I'm gunna prep and lay on my roof lining and interior pillows, abit of fabric glue and cutting and it's done.
...and, because were having such good weather today, I took the rear suspension out, cleaned under the arches and started to spray with Hammerite (Black). Lesson learn't I'd rather use the tin of paint and brush to be honest. Awful!
Red or Black under the arches do you think? Opinons?

Cheers,
I'm stuck between the two colours. Red with black componants sounds good. I've seen a couple of RSTurbo's on here with Red Hammerite arches, looks good. We'll have to see. As for the light, I'm the same, kept spraying it and spraying it. Was useless. Hense buying the German light, can't wait.

Matt - You've just made my mind up. RED IT IS.
Did you use a tin of paint and a brush or spray can?

Tell me about it. Can't get in all the places with the cans. Plus I think it gives a better finish to it.

I agree with that 100%
Had to sell them though, at the time I needed the money. The new owner has refurbed them now, and has flattened the RS centre caps so it's all nice and smooth n' shiney.

Get mike to sell them back to you (I dont think he flattened the caps, but made some up himself... or at least that what he said he was going to do) then tell him to stop wasting time and money on the escort and get the beige beast done!!

Yeah, that's what I mean't. They look good, although I don't have the money at the moment. Would rather spend my money on the Starmags.
