New to the UK forums from across the pond!

How’s it going guys and gals! I’ve been on the forums for a little bit and it took some getting used to from my phone. You can’t use the regular google browser anymore and have to click on the “full site” which took me awhile to figure out LOL! Anyway last time I was able to comment I was trying to figure out how to upload pics and couldn’t.. Now that I find out to use the full site browser (I’m slow sometimes haha!) I can upload pics! So here’s a few of my 2014 Buick Regal GS AWD. With BMW X5 wheels that you guys use a lot also. As you can see.. Mine are a bit.. Huh different LOL! And yes I know... Needs more low! I’m working on that.. With the stupid virus everything is shutdown and I’m waiting on parts.. Because my GS is AWD there is no US companies that offer a lowering spring here.. So I had to order the only ones I could offered from H&R that would sell to the States and they had to ship all the way from Germany. And thanks to everyone here who helped me cross reference the part numbers from the VXR! I know there’s a few other like Spakx or something like that but they wouldn’t sell to me unless I went through the whole currency exchange and shipping would’ve been ridiculous.. The H&R’s were a quick ebay grab that auto converted the currency and shipping was free! No brainer! So you’d think I’d be waiting on those... Nope! I got those in two days flat to my astonishment even through this virus! I’m actually just waiting on lower rear spring insulators that are on back order because GM is making ventilators instead of car parts.. So whenever that goes back to normal the car will be getting lowered! Hopefully in about a month or less. Ford is going back to making cars on Monday acording to my local news here in the States so hopefully GM is soon to fallow..

That looks amazing. I love the wheels and the choice of colour (note the correct spelling there ). Hope you are all keeping safe on your side.

Thanks! Wheels are powder coated in Illusion Tangerine Twist! I’ve seen probably about 30 different shades of orange so far with theses wheels LOL! All throughout the day depending on where the sun is at in the sky it’s a different shade of orange or a super dark red. Haha yeah it sure is a lot of damn corn and soybeans around me. My closest neighbor is 1/4 mile away the rest is just flat open fields! I’m about 50miles west of Chicago which is nice because if I want to see city people it’s just a short hour ride depending on idiots.. I mean cityiots.. I mean traffic

You should see peoples reaction when I’m driving down the street HAHA! Good thing I have my windows tinted that way people don’t see me laughing. I was iffy about this color (correct spelling) for a really long time.. I almost went with a sky blue or baby blue. Then I kinda wanted to do illusion purple which is a freaking awesome color (spelling is everything, like tire and tyre) but decided against it because it just looks black at night.. Soo went with my gut and went orange. I also brought some of the orange to the inside of the car with some vinyl wrap. Two wraps actually. Metallic satin orange and a cheap ebay carbon fiber... Which for being so cheap doesn’t look as bad as other cheap carbon wraps.. I’ll upload a few interior cabin pics in a bit.

Hi,

Nice car!...I wouldn't think orange wheels would go with the colour but they look pretty good.....It that white pearlescent or just the way the light is catching the car in the top and bottom pics?

It’s a factory paint. It’s White diamond tri-coat paint code 800J or WA800J as the touch-up paints call it. It is very much metallic. White goes with any color that’s the good thing about it. This orange would also look absolutely killer on a grey car like the darker grey metallic Insignias and Buick's are and is one of my favorite combos. Or even a black car could get away with it imo

Don't know why I'm saying this.....but it's POTM time again, you should choose a pic and stick an entry in. There said it now, that's me not getting a key ring again...

Rab, think I have just seen your new wheels, of course you could pick your own colour/color
