Holy shit! Thats a transformation! Looking fucking outstanding now!! When I saw the first pic I though 'oh no, another ruined Mk3'

Glad I was wrong! Looks really tidy now!

Looks lovely, always liked Mk3 cabriolets..

surprised it went through an MOT with those plates on though as they are clearly non-standard text..

got to agree the cossie rims looked good but those rims look 100 x better!! suite the tones of car and brings it all together if that makes sense.

You got shot of them plates yet lol!!

I was amazed at how nice smaller rims made the drive feel on my old S1, had 17's when I got it and thought it drove ok but a bit crashy and tramlined. Stuck some standard rims on and it felt like driving a new car, much nicer handling as well.
