R20 000 :(

Nice rims, but you need HUGE discs to make those look good. Carrera C2 or bigger. Small discs and golf calipers will just make it look stupid.
In my opinion, MANY people have made a nice car look crap by adding nice rims that were too much for the car. Be careful here....

BTW, the Porsche knockoffs were made by A-line.

New casing alone from US ~ R 7K + shipping & VAT. Gene Berg 2006cc motor ~ R60K......

Dont buy a Gene Berg engine. All that you will get is an engine that wont break. It will also be so underpowered that you will hurt yourself when a 1776 street car blasts you away. His equipment is good, but his technology is old and they wont change their minds on it...

I can get you a new casing in CPT - EMPI. Do you want me to make enquiries? I can drive it up to you in JHB in April

Just a word of warning.... those buttons are a little flimsey. The LED ring stops working too regularly for comfort. but then again, we use them in a sea water environment. If I was you, I'd order a spare or two.

Thanx Tony, will keep 1 or 2 spare :) The ones you use, made by Hoffman?

No idea, they are on our stock program... hard to think you will find another button with a stainless centre, a light ring, stainless tapered outer. The button doesnt lock in place, so its only "on" while you push it
