well i said i wouldn't modify the sr,but the bug has bitten:d

bought some Alessio speedlines off Nick J,couple of weeks back and fitted them today,no center wheel caps on yet but that will be sorted soon:)
Also fitted a magnex exhaust aswell,which looks and sounds better;)

looks very nice mate,never realy been a fan of the three spokes,although it looks nice to have it original,the three spokes just dont suit it imho.
looks the part with the speedlines on matches the bottom half too

Now i was thinking oh dear you silly boy not another one on speedlines, but however, given the dark colour which matches your SR vinyl i say that definately works, needs about -30mm lowering though:thumb:

Wheels would look better in Silver.

My speedlines rubbed like hell on my mk1, front and rear arch lips need fully rolling.

Wheels are too big for a sr IMO

it looks like its on stilts, get it lowered by another 20ish front and 35ish back and it would sit right.

and because its white (which is the best nova colour of ever :d ) it needs clear front indicators, ignore the standard lovers, they're all homo's..white cars need white indicators

FACT :thumb:

Looks 10 times better than the three spokes

Looks very well Joe in my opinion...... And in all honesty guys it doesnt sit that high when you see it in the flesh! As I thought the grey colour of the allesios does go very well with the bottom half vinyl as they did on mine. All in all a very nice addition to a good looking car. ;)

Looks well! Please fit that exhaust properly though!

Imho i'd lose the too modern aero style wiper blades. They spoil it!

Lol, it doesn't sit in the bumper cut out very well. I know it's personal preference over the wipers, i just don't think they suit older cars imo.

It looks like it in the pic mate,it is fitted properly lol there is only a hanger holding it in place so how can it not be fitted properly lol

I would disagree,silver wouldn't look half as good,due to the car been white and grey at the bottom !

lol,it's off the road for winter now mate so wont be using it much:thumb:

mine is waxoyld aswell but there is no way it will see the roads this winter,its hardwork to keep on top of them every week when there used,so it will be laid up:thumb:

Fair play mate...I'd get it out and use it as much as possible

As I said to you allesios in silver on your car would stand out more... with them in grey and matching the lower half of the car I feel they tone it down and look more subtle/fitting etc. As we all know the most subtle novas seem to always be the best. ;)

looks good that does mate, i didnt really think they would look that good tbh, because the pictures on facebook looked like they were a different colour, but now i seen them on the car then do look well mate! cant wait to see this next year!
