luckly for me my kit was on when i bought the car  :wink: thats what caught my eye  :smug: i think i might change the alloys thought but im not sure  :huh: what ya think?

The alloys look good, suit the car, maybe change the colour, go darker!

lol ^ I like the alloys, same as what I've got but I'm looking to get either some 18" AMG or some 18" TSW Holstens.

Down to the fact you've got the R body kit I'd stick with the alloys

Carbon fiber  :smug: i was gona dive in there but my mam said she'd kick me out the house for being a chav if i went down that road :grin: But i think it complaments silver cars well  :wink:

Yea and i think ill stick with these rims and just sort some center caps out as they are rather worn :D

The car looks nice and you've got some very nice mods already done to it,before you think about wheels etc can i suggest you maybe look at the ride height first.

Post by: linz on 19 July 2009, 19:41

i say keep the wheels there not to bad an the money on new alloys can be put to better use :)

Post by: barry-gti on 19 July 2009, 22:24

How are you finding Forge inductionkit mate?

Title: Re: First Bitz and bobs :D
Post by: BrettGti on 02 September 2009, 17:35

Love it mate, alot more gives alot more growel when you put your foot down which i love, as for power gain/lose i woudnt say there was any loss at all, although most members would say there would be due to heat.. but i havnt noticed any as yet. Love the look of it under the bonnet also! But everyone to there own, thats what its all about  :smug:
