s2 alloys look shite in white! and gti alloys are just fake cosworth ones (which i would sell the gti alloys anyway) so if you dont want to have standard silver s2 alloys, or even do them in black like i have..

then tbh i would sell the gti and s2 alloys put a little bit of money and get some 2nd hand but good condition 15" 5 spoke MO's as these wheels actaully look good in white..

hope this helps

by the way, get some pics up of your car

 

will try to put pics up but every time i have tried in the past it aint worked. i have got some one who is after my gti alloys and the s2 ones are in black. like i said money is a pain as me car needs a arch and cill along with a full respray. will try again with pics

 

my pride and joy. hopefully the piccs have worked

 

nice car to start with

just a few things i would change (obviously dont have to listen)

put standard bumpers back on (black ones)
remove the spoil
remove stickers on the sides
put the black s2 alloys on
lower it

would look 10x better imo

what are your plans for it by the way

 

smoothed 90 spec bumpers, s2 skirts and arches, cossie lower rear spoiler, turbo bonnet, i have all the parts just waiting for the funds. i have already done the following. mint 90 spec interior, 3 spoke rs steering wheel, full gmax suspension, xr3i brakes with stainless steel hoses, peco back box ( a small one) and a k&n bolt on. also want an xr3 carb engine for it.

 

what things have u done to your car then mate? dont see many base model mk4's about but eventually i found this place

 

heres a very quick photoshop of how i would have your car (even better with black s2 alloys)

before..



after..

 

base model mk4's rule!!

my first car was a silver 1.1 bonus (G191 OSH) and i loved it, it got an XR2 lump and 5spd box, 88 spec turbo interior and slammed on rst wheels - miss that car badly!

Think i've had another 12 or so bonus's since then - here's some pics:

bonus turbo, was bought with running gear in it - i just finished it off











prob my fav, 2.0 16v Bonus which i bought bog standard as a non runner:













she got a 2.0 zetec, rst box, full stainless, polybushes, superchip etc etc! great car and very quick! got more pics when i find them...

 

i think that blue one was in one of the ford mags a while ago

very nice pair of bonus,s mate

 

yeah mate i sent the pics in for the readers cars feature - wasnt quite a feature car

 

some more:

















Cool cars!!!

 

i liked the zetec mk4 chap..

i got my red mk4 pop and green bonus in the readers section in fastford aswell

will put a few pics of how my current bonus 90 is looking in a sec...

 

looking abit mean if i say so myself...





all lit up..

 

me and my mate turbod a bonus in 1 nite once and it fired strait up.lol

 

just as it sounds, lost heart in my bonus now as it need a cill arch and respray. also an engine needs replacing. so gonna have a look for an mk4 xr3i cabby to use insted. all is not lost though as my bonus is going to be sorn and can gradually sort it as my wallet lets it.

 

a little update on my bonus

bought this last week






proper rot box but is ideal for what i need

this is how mine stands at the mo


cheers
mick
