QUOTE (StevenL @ Jul 25 2011, 10:50 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>My mother in law has a Primera Sri with the Sr20De engine in it. Its a very torquy engine, great low power and quick too. Ive heard most of them have more than the stated figures. They are light enough too. I love driving it, as standard it comes with front and rear strut braces too so it handles well for what it is.
Is that the black one that would always be outside mass in Granard on a Sunday morning?

Yep.. i had the front bumper off 2 weeks ago wire brushed down the front panel and painted it with hammerite... was very hard lining it back up.. But done it to the best of my ability... Fair play for spotting...

Bit of an update here.... Got the car undersealed
Image
Got it done with a company in dublin

Excellent work... and a five year warranty... So all ready for the winters ahead... Much to my suprise there was only surface rust on the body which was cleaned down / treated / undersealed and he also put cavity wax into the rear struts too... he said that the surface wouldn't have been another 2 - 3 years beacuse it would be a problem. So overall very Happy

Here's a few pics of the work..

Sorry the pics look a bit shi*e... the flash doesnt do any favours.... The pics dont do it justice really...

Thanks for the ipinions lads... yea the xxr's are nice.. but i think there a bit too boy racer-ish... this car's my baby and rarely gets driven never mind driven hard.. Just want something to make it look different and tastey rather than the normal grids and usual wheels..

any other suggestions od any other wheels at all?

Cheers
