I can see why! Blue, the dark wheels and with all that Biscuit on show :wub:

Andy, I didn't like the wheels while on my phone, on the computer now and the colour and highlights are probably better represented. Cracking finish and suits the car depending on the light, sometimes there's just a little bit too much blue going on, but in other pictures it's a dark wheel with blue highlights, I like them in those pictures thumbsup

Not sure it is a Regal my brother says it's different.... everyone i've asked said they don't know! Previous owner said it was a custom build. Thorney once told me i may be losing some compression due to having one outlet instead of two.... probably just trying to sell me a new one lol. It makes an epic noise and pops a lot!

It could be custom, ive just put the same on my tubby, its a tailpipe from powerflow (and longlife) though i'm not sure its staying as my impatience may have bit me in the ass (think itll protude too far when the clam goes back on and nobody likes a protruding fanny do they?) . i like the wheels too, look like a great finish.

Certainly has, think my dad bought it in 2005. it was a cat C with front damage, new crash box, rad housing, front clam and headlights. back is all original as it sustained no damage. It's nice that it's still in the family, my Dad never used it! I think he's a bit sorry he sold it now it looks so good!

oh right that's interesting, thanks. i should really have a good look at it when i next take the trays off! Mine does stick out a little too far for my liking but not enough to bother me, just got to be careful not to burn your leg! You only do that once, Oww! Glad you like the wheels!
