looks good on the new wheels, very jealous, and throw the old wheels away, its the one thing on a 3 door that spoils the look imo, they just look better on bigger wheels.

Nice, doesn't look tired at all just a few bits and pieces from the 4i and I'm sure it'll be a great car. Ignore the wheel comments, standard wheels look utter gash IMO, could maybe do with spacers on the rear if I wanted to be picky. Look forward to reading more about it. (which I'm sure I will)
