i just dont think the softstars seem to suit my car THAT well in that colour...

cav gsi rims look the part and 3 spokes in a dark glossy anthracite would be quite cool but with 185/55 tyres i think (slightly lower profile...)

still undecided though lol

the more i look at stewarty_c's old red one the more i like it.. so thinking of going for gloss black 3 spokes

did a quick photoshop complete with smoked lights, think it looks quite good

I'm not a fan of the anthracite 3 spokes for some reason, like Haynesy I'm a fan of the Tigra ones!

K5 the motor looks nice everyones doing black round here, I wanna try this first to be a lil different did u get any scrubbing problems? ur fronts on spacers??

cheers for the comments guys its getting there slowly. i'm worried about debadging with it being red but yeah it'd look a lot smoother so may still do that! lol

matt the blue one is probs parked on campbell road in stoke? i dont own it no more nah good to see it knocking about still though pics at night were done on newstead industrial estate, pissing about with me cam and they came out like that, ive got no idea what the settings actually meant lol.

wheels and tyres were 80 quid but i've got some brand new tyres to go on and the wheels needed a bit of a buffing up but not too bad overall
