Right apart from smoked repeaters, lack of the gay badges above the rub strips and a some audio stuff my car is the same as shown in the pic below.

I am not sure what i should do to it frist though. At the moment I am thinking of getting some alloys and lowering it (will be alloys first and a bit of a wait before lowering). How ever i am compleatly unsure what would suit the car. As in what size and design to go for. I am thinking along the lines of some multi spoke ones at the mo. So any pics of your cars with differnt alloys would be much appricated to help me get an idea of what to go for and what would look good on a standard car.

heres a pic of my car (please dont laugh)



Cheers Gavin

Set of 16s - Miglia T12s I think . They are on fear's corsa , and if your after multispokes thats what to get

Would lower it first or at the same time though , as your car will sit like a tractor otherwise

I live in Hadleigh which is quite near Southend.

I think I will be saving up and getting it lowered at the same time as ive been doing lots of over time at work lately while college has been quite so that will put a bit towards it

Im still stuck on what size wheel to get though

If I get it lowered I was thinking of a drop of about 35-40mm. How much work would be involved for fitting 16" over 15"'s as far as arch work etc to avoid rubbing?

if you get 16" and 40mm lowering kit then you will have no problems, its only when you lower 60mm on 16" that you might have to do abit of arch work

GSI kits look nice though

Anyway.....
So a 40mm drop with 16" wheels at the correct offset shouldnt cause any probs then? And what profile tyres is this with 45's? Or smaller?

Any pics to hand of some 16" with 40mm drop?
