personally i wouldnt get m3 mirrors. i like the car but some other vauxhall alloys on there ( like ceasro's or slabs ) and maybe a bit lower and would look awesome. nice starting car

Thanks aleex, definate looking into lowering with uprated shocks.
m3 mirrors im getting for £10 and mirrors on mine paint flaking off, and the other is cracked so m3 it will have to be tempory. Standard mirrors always looked better to me.

Sxi wheels was what i was looking for in black, or wolfrace octanes.

Looking good there. Agree with staying away from the m3 mirrors. Think it will look good on some black rims too.. maybe get a gsi bumper and skirts.

Like i say m3 mirrors only tempory, till i get some standard ones thats not cracked and repaint them.

Im thinking of wolfrace octanes 15"

not sure on bumpers or skirts yet but gsi would be the way to go.
Want to lower more first and get the wheels on.
