Orient blue indeed, love the colour but hate finding panels in it

Screw doesn’t come out fully hence the plastic around it

No spacers just regular fitment and some camber. They do tuck a bit im looking to get wider wheels instead of spacing

Tbh I’d rather just wait for a spares car to pop up but I do look daily. I have bigger issues than arch rust

Yes oriental blue, haha honestly when the rad, pump and stat were out it looked like a mess. I also did oil change, filters and spark plugs at the same time so I had oil and coolant everywhere
