Pickford's Kensington SE

Post by Pickford »

Time to 'restart one of these. I've had the car for 3 years or so now and it's been my daily since I've had it. The car is a 1.1 till I manage to sort the shell for a conversion. I haven't done much as of yet just some minor tweeks here and there.
Here's the car when I first got her.

It's off a Renault Laguna fella had to chop it up to get it to fit as it's a tad narrower than a Laguna :)

I always liked the 4 spoke revolutions and they look good on a metro.
but also think the 5 spoke revolutions would look great, but never seen a set of those on a metro

Think you should stick some on the race car it would look good. I was quite lucky to come across them as I didn't think you could get them in the 92.25 pcd
