i cant make my mind up on them either, marmite wheel, some angles they look good others they dont! reckon im gonna refurb the splits back to original silver and then go for an OE style exhaust!

aye its CE1 car that was already converted when i bought it. had entertained the idea years back of returning it to small bumper but couldnt be bothered plus the front lower panel has been removed when converted

@barrym381 - the subaru is still the daily transport :)
