Crying out for a splitter of some kind, and maybe space the rear wheels out a touch, but looks good otherwise, bit different to the norm!

Backs will be spaced, I have a cosbib but no sure yet! The front bumper defo needs sumet!

The wheels are 16x7.5 with 205/45 idealy I need 40s but they don't catch and the money difference was too much

Haven't been on here in ages, need some ideas for this summer, front splitter is sorted just gotta fit it and the interior is all out ready to have something done but not decided what.

What else shall I do?

if the budget allows id get the new 9x16" lensos on the rear with a arch pull, that colour is great and now the car just needs a wider bigger stance, those rears would do it, id even consider colour coding the centres!!! maybe thats goin to far but definetly dont darken the centres, its colour coded or silver in my books

I'm going to space the rears when I get longer studs I can't budget new wheels, I'm going for smaller front tyres as they catch and hopefully coilovers if I can get some cheap

theres always coilover kits lying around second hand, even just half a inch lower would make all the difference. space the rears a good 2 inches with narrower stretched tires and that should give the look of the wider rims i said about. id definetly have the rear arches pulled slightly

My plans for the interior change everyday lol, ATM it has two corbaue bucket seats and nothing else but I don't know if I should leave it stripped or put a full interior back in.

Thanks for your comments
