Yes TT Comps are 17" but they did a 16" wheel that looked nearly the same.
-
Id start with a haircut then a bit of colourcoding.
Find a set of wheels you like(Photoshop some on to give you an idea) as this will change the cars appearance no end!
Main thing to work on is that haircut though :grin:
Car looks very tidy btw :wink:

If it were my car i'd be looking at removing mud flaps, smoked indicators/side repeaters, joey mod headlights, paint bottom grill slat (or better put the badged one back on), shorter aerial, pressed plates, plate surrounds, lower bumper vents, aero wipers and spacers :wink:
-
dom, smoked indicators/side repeaters, been there done that ,then went amber . joey headlights not a fan.. plates i keep thinkin about but is it worth gettin pulled for??? what size spacers did you use one your old 3 thinkin of doin my wheels like yours when i find some more to roll on

I very briefly fitted 23mm rears and 18mm fronts :cool:
Get legal pressed plates from Dubmeister :wink:
-

legal pressed plates hows that work.... theres a copper round here thats just a c*nt for number plates...
-

In the pics of the rears the fronts hadn't been fitted and the suspension was still to settle from being jacked up. Had a tiny amount of rubbing up front but if I'd trimmed the plastic trim it would have solved it :smiley:
