My TD5 90
Hi everyone

Thought I'd put up a few photos of what I've done with my 90 so far. I've had it six months now and have now done a few bits and pieces to it. It already came with an Alive remap and turbo boost box, bigger intercooler and a disco transfer box.

A couple of photos from the ad

I wasn't too keen on the front spots and A bar, thought it made the front end look a bit cluttered so removed them. I also took off the roof bars as I wont really be needing them. I also swapped the silver mirrors for standard black ones and put a pair of clear indicators on the front.

The next thing was wheels. Having decided I wanted a set of Mach 5's I was lucky enough to snap up a second hand set of 5 that came up on Ebay. They were originally gold which I didnt think would look too good on silver. Having originally said I didnt want a colour that was too in your face I pretty much did the opposite and decided on having them powder coated candy blue. Im running these with a set of 285/75/16 BFG All Terrain KO2's.

They do seem to appear more purple than blue in most lights but Im still very happy with the way they've turned out.

And finally yesterday I fitted my new gloss black grille and headlight surrounds with a pair of crystal headlights.

Really happy with the way its turned out so far but still have lots more I'd like to do it! Very Happy

Cheers

Will

Thanks! I know the wheel colour wont be to everyone's taste but I thought it was something a bit different from the usual Smile

That looks fantastic! Don't think blue wheels would work on my red 110 though.

Spot on.

Do you know the width & offset of your Mach 5's?

Thanks guys! AJC, I believe they're 16x8 with an offset of ET0.

Cheers

Any issues with catching. They're 285 tyres aren't they?

The only clearance issue I've had with the 285's so far is when the suspension is fully articulated. Whichever rear wheel is up in the arch, that tyre will catch ever so slightly on the inside edge of the spat. But seen as it very rarely leaves tarmac or has to carry anything heavy this isn't much of a problem for me. Thumbs Up
