As already said:

TT speedlines = 16"
TT Comps = 17"
Fat Fives = 18"

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:

Have a look at dubmeister for the plates :wink:

Not got brilliant pics of spacers fitted, but front:



Rear:







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:
