The car is gonna have a few mods before it goes back on the road these are:

Half smoked rear lights, gsi interior, digi dash, leccy windows, more ice etc etc

It also needs a new bonnet, passenger wing, headlights, passenger door and gsi front bumper. thus requiring a respray, i wanna keep the body white

Where the dilemma comes is, a: do i keep the bumpers black, spray them a gunmetal grey or colour code them white?

b: do i keep the wheels gunmetal? or do i paint them white or black?

Any opinions would help immensly!

Also if anyone has any of the parts needed in good condition particularly in the east anglia region can you pm me! cheers!

Finally one more thing, does anyone know where to get the bolts from the center of my wheels? i want some silver ones! thanks

personally I think it looks really nice as it is mate. Just get it tidyed up and maybe get rear window surrounds.

get the bumpers sprayed anthreite or jut normal black again, remove the window tints, and get rid of those old skool TSW wheels for some black Cav GSi rims or something :thumb:

Its not the wheels that need to go, its the tyres.

Drop it a bit more at the back & yes get rid of the rear tints.

Otherwise, nice.

195/45/15's or even 40 profile

195 50s are the correct size to keep the rolling dia
meter the same as stock - but to get a decent look and to limit arch and other rubbing issues - 45s are the best option.

Good different.

Better than putting your surname in the rear window and a little union jack
