Thanks Matty glad you liked looking round the car, nope i dont mind at all 
Yes Mark, good to meet up with you again, new pug is very smart, yep running HIDs now
yeah that pic is from the for sale thread on here, made me decide to buy them Centres are sprayed Smoke grey
Updates: got the tyres delivered and my bro popped out to get them fitted and balenced for me.
They are 165/50/15 bridgestone potenza's, narrow to give me more clearance against the suspension and a slight stretch.

doesnt look right 
i reckon 15mm spacers on the front and 30mm spacers on the rear and lower would look loads better..
example..

Nah there spot on for winter, no hassle motoring and i dont have to worry about catching anything or rubbing, it would look silly on any narrow wheel campared to the wider splits BBS's cleaned up and in hibernation till spring

i understand there just on for the winter but still, you want it to sit nice 
rear sits spot on with the bbs's, would just get rid of the arch gap on the front, should sort the stance out a treat
fave 4 door going though, actually only 4 door i like..

Yep i see what you mean dude, but i dont want to faff about or change the suspension set up as its set perfect for the BBS splits, aim is to run around on these while i work on the car and concentate on other things i didn't want to run standard steels as aim to fit the bigger bakes etc. so needed a 15" wheel and something not standard. something i can just bolt on for the winter months and not have to worry about anything.
The arch gap is due to still running neg camber on the rear, and such narrow tyres, if i'd have used the usual 195's they'd catch the suspension set up. This is why i got rid of the Corsa C Sxi's.
Thanks tho mate, nothing wrong with a bit of constructive critisicm

Thats exactly my thoughts i'll hopefully be working on a fair few bits over winter you see so dont want to spend too much of the time chopping and changing the things that work or are set ready for the summer stance
