If you've been on here long enough you know what people will say...

that looks spot on martin. the wheels suite it perfectly. i think the tyres look a good choice too, fit the arches well

i agree! there are the extremists on here that will still think its 4x4 style but a healthy bit of arch gap is good imho! (not that i have much but I'm on 15"s)

well if you were to see the amount of speed bumps and potholes around here this is low enough as I've got no tyre rub but i think the back needs to go a little lower

also does anyone know if they done starmags in 13 x 8's

Looking good buddy :)

You gonna get some 6n2 rears? I've got some for mine, just need to drill out the hole now so they can fit flush..they look so much better haha

However I might be selling and getting a 1.4 soon :/

got some 16v bumpers in flash red been waiting for these for ages will hopefully have them fitted tomorrow got some red rear handles to go on will get some pics up soon :)

16v bumpers will really make a difference, they made my car look so much different once I got them.

I like how you have sprayed the reverse light red, don't think I have ever seen that done before.

Are you thinking of de - wipering the rear?
