Glad you are pleased But I reckon the front end needs lowering a touch to make it look right.

imho I would have left the other wheels on but if you really wanted the comps should have gone with dark coloured ones...

IMHO new style 6 spoke comps just dont suit a 3 door, would of been better with some old skool 5 spoke MO's IMO mate.

i think that looks smart as
6 spoke mo's really do suit the car
i think its a sweet contrast with the blue paint
needs a slam!!

I really like the wheels but the colour of the car and the rear lights are a no no for me I think a 3 door has to be white, black or moonstone. It's a nice colour don't get me wrong but just looks wrong on the car if you are looking for originality.
