hi mate,thanks for the comments,I'm now saving up for new wheels,I've been working on the bodywork because it had sooo many little dents on it when i first gor her i wanted to get that sorted,hopefully il have some nice rimmage before the summer comes,and lower it a little more.I've just remembered the name of those wheels,they're enzo's, they only cost me £20 and some spray paint and new tyres. :-)

Thanks dude, the recess was used off a mk4 fiesta (all i could find at the time!!) plastic welded onto a gti rear bumper,re-inforced with a little p40, a bit of smoothing...and hey presto,1 recess fot the no.plate. :-)

the wheels work, because their over the top and make the car look modern.
