Not a bad looking car! Not keen on gold wheels. They would look great in white but don't think white would suit the silver.

Looks spot on mate, how easy was the quick shift to do and did it make a good difference?

How much clearance have you got between your front tyres and the struts? Nice car by the way.

The EsCos alloys look really cool and suit it way more than the previous gold wheels!
