Do they not obstruct your view a bit when driving?

Not so far, although I have only scooted it about on my drive. I'll wait and see to answer that truthfully when I'm driving it.. waiting for insurance and tax :| Still

Just a tad on the overkill side of things, IMO. But tastes are different, aren't they ?

Wouldn't be particularly keen on drilling into the door skin either.

You'd drill into the top of the door for syncro mirrors. Although to be fair it was the worst bit. At least its fairly easy to repair if I didn't want them on there. And yea, little overkill but I love it, tat chrome is cool.

No flags. :P and its got truck horns, just put them underneath :P

I would love to run marker lights on the roof but that means drilling the roof. drilling the doors was bad enough :P

Lol..

I do have to admit I know its not going to be to everyones (anyones? :P) tastes, but then, I did expect that. I think its nifty in a tat-chrome kindof way, and I'm happy and its a talking/laughing point for others, which is a bit of fun. :)
Right.. what bit can I mod with controversy next? :lol:

Ohh.. err.. No :P Got some Vauxhall Senator lattice wheels coming soon which I'm gonna have with black spoke inlays and polished spoke faces and lips. Still not 100% on the idea but hey, I put those mirrors on! :lol:

Gonna try something like this:

Not sure how they will fit but I've seen it done before, so we'll see when we get there.

I really was going to build a fake fire bus out of it a few years back but I thought there were enough real T25 fire busses without one more and stopped. (wrong shade of red too :P)

Yea, 5X110. Apparently the holes need to be redrilled to 14MM. I know of quite a few people running them on busses and vans, so I'm inclined to belive them. Don't even know if I really like them though, or the idea of the PCD being out (albeit 2MM)
