I'm now gonna try and save some money for alloys (18" or 19" ??? / Which alloys???  these are the big Questions).
In the meenwhile, I'm gonna get the Monza's refurb'd and painted satin black inside.

Any suggestions on the wheels are welcome  :happy2:

Refurb the monza II's and do the inserts Black, and them keep them. Will go really well with your car.With your colour it will contrast very well imo. Very subtle changes make all the difference.  :happy2:

Coming along nicely, quite a transformation!  :congrats:

What did you use to tint the rear reflectors?

Post by: Top Cat on August 14, 2009, 10:15:57 am

Very nice MR Dubs.  :happy2:

And Wigit is right, fitting the R32 valance does something to the appearance of the monza,s  I loved my Monza'a but they lost something after the valance.
I would save up for some different ones.  :smiley:

Looking good chap. All you need to do now is the R32 engine and transmission mods and you'll be done  :innocent:

New wheels is deffinately on the agenda, but a refurb and paint is for now.
