yooo do u knw if hatch rear bumper fits a wagon? assuming rear bumper mounts same on chev/gem wgns... wana put chrome 1s on my wagon (when i gt it...) sooo knt wait!! Not sure bro. I don't have access to chevette hatch or gemini coupe stuff, but from a quick check it appears that the bumpers on the sedan and the wagon use the same mounting points at the rear. Obviously there will be other issues with putting chevette bumpers onto the front of the newer geminis because of the different body work etc but I'm pretty sure they will fit onto the earlier ones, like yours leon. The main difference that I can find it the number plate light. It gets put on the top of the bumper on wagons but not for sedans, hatches and coupes.

Recently getting back into this project-O, -Springs have all been trimmed again& front bumpstops out to add some more travel (i just get metal on metal now...hmmm) -Short as KYB's in the rear, trying to suss some front shocks at the moment along with adjustable swaybar links -Fixed up the interior leaks& painted the floor black -Head deck& some speakerzzz -Got the exhaust pulled up& slung underneath the diff -Got a sierra front lip from pick-a-part -Just sent the steering rack away for a rebuild, far to much play in the arms etc -Got flappers, not happy with the fit atm And just heaps more basic stuff, found me an even awesomer blue suitcase with travel stickers too!!

So what size are those first silver deep dish rims? Are they standard steel rims extended or something? I love the look and want to do it to mine. Care to point me in the direction of creating some?

Steelie gears in onehunga will put your steel centres into ROH centreless rims. Some fullas(help us out guys i cant remember) down in Christchuch will also do this or they will cut your rims and weld in new bands of steel-thats how brads are done in the pic above in 13x8. My rostyles are the ROH wheels in 13x7. Alot of places i rang wernt keen to do it but im sure if you ask around at the speedway or something there will be others out there willing to do it. Theyre heavy tho, 13x7 superlights would also be choice

Elite wheels in chch do it for $280 for 4. You obviously need to get them down there though which is around $100 but they will be able to get them back for only around $60 since they send so much stuff. Thats probably the cheapest option. Thats banded steels. Mine were $550 from a random engineer.
For centreless rims you are looking at around $300+ for the rims (7 inch is max in 13 or you can get 14x8) and then steelie gears will charge I guess around $100-200 to cut some centres out and weld them into the centreless rims. Thats the safe option lol.
If I got wheels made again I would probably go with 14's because my 13's are just too small for road use because you need to make the car so low on them for it to look right.
