LOWS!!!!!

Take off the chav-tastic wheels.

OZ Titans are actually pretty decent wheels. They don't weigh too much, have loads of brake clearance and are very well made. What makes them look proper gash is the plastic centre caps, they look 100 times better without them. I'd get rid of them and stick some smaller centre caps over the hole left in the middle.

But yeah you'll be wanting some coilovers too :nod:

thanks for the replys guys, yeah i was thinking coilovers too, sits kind of high on the 16's, wasnt sure if lowering it would make the tires rub,

and yeah wanted some lightweight alloys that didnt weigh too much, as i didnt want any loss of the little power the car has lol

Yeah I agree about the wheels

Lows

Colour coded wingmirrors

Depo headlights/indies

Good looking base car to work with :thumbsup: and although i am not a huge fan of the wheels they are as mentioned above well made and give good clearance etc.

They are up to you, the build of this car is your story, you do what you like and suits your taste mate.

As far as recommendations go.

Coilovers

Colour code the wing mirror's or having them gloss black and your roof gloss black usually looks nice with that colour of blue but once again this is entirely your choice.

GTI bumpers/grills & fogs will improve the look of the car.

Interior wise, your choice, GTI seats will look nice or any other nice seats you can get a hold of.

And obviously keep it clean and looking tidy (not much hope in this weather though haha).

Also try revamping your headlamps as they are looking a bit worn and dull, depending on how much oxidisation there is they might just want some medium cut polish on them or if its really bad then a very fine grade wet sand with some fine cut polish afterwards will work a treat, its amazing also how much it improves the look of your front end when they are nice and shiny!

thankyou for the advice ill definitely take it into account, i got some 50mm springs that i was thinking to put on just need to find a place that fits them, and the side mirrors are carbon wrapped, but i think gloss black would look better,also the lights are quite bad, will sanding them down restore them well enough? or are new headlights needed?

definitely lows and more fitting wheels :) good luck with it, you've got a good base!
