looks like it could be nice m8

oo ripspeed wheels i see enuf of them at work

Just needs lowering and it will look banging :D

get some new wheels boyyoo!

Done well for the money mate.

very nice mate, front end looks good. get it slammed and it will look more complete. dont worry about the wheels, theyl do, just take the centre caps out, fill over the "R" and spray them black. so the centre caps are plain.

then whos to know there ripspeed?

lol.

again, nice car, tidy for the price

thanks for the comments, on a tight budget you see and i don't want to spend £500 on nice wheels when the car is worth like £400, will try and lower it at some stage tho. Yes the front end is near mint its just the sides that let it down.

Thanks tommy.

Looks like a tidy base :)

good base to startw ith ncie and clean and a lovely colour!

thanks you 2, yeh I'm happy with her as a first car and i found amazing hot the car looks after a good clean. When i first got it, it was about ready for the scrappy but after a few hours of cleaning it looked really good.

Thanks tommy

sell the wheels to some1 else i think everyone else will say the same. You can buy a much better set with the cash you get for them. P slots are only £40-50 usually.

i brought the wheels because they were £200 mate, brand new with 4 new tyres will last me a long time. pslots yeh but maybe in a year or so i will move up in the alloy wheels department Lol.

thanks for your suggestion Tommy.
