Yes, me too. I actually think it's one of those cars (like an m3) that looks wrong with any other wheel apart from std. Just doesn't look like an RS anymore to me.

AWESOME. Red is my favourite colour by a mile. It'll stand out and look the bollocks
Funny though I always hate colour changed mk1 frs'. Probably as they only came in 1 colour.

Red looks good! Agree about the wheels, think they will look small in the huge RS's arches.

I can see where your coming from about the wheels and i appreciate the comments, we did think the same but once the car is painted we shall get the bodyshop to fit the wheels so the first time we see the car again it will be finished wearing its new paint and wheels, so at that point i dont think it will be as noticable to us as if you where changing them over yourself, if you know what im trying to say
also ive looked at pics of jamsports rs with the same wheels and it looks fine i think.

i used to be a paint sprayer/airbrush artist and tbh im not fond on red, i was a little concerned when corsa red was mentioned as this wont be a high gloss colour no matter how much lacquer is put on!!!
