cheers guys, I am over the moan with them. Actually starting to look like a track day car now!!! lol

When I did the calipers I did them silver which looked nice with the standard wheels but it seems like it needs something a bit more now so may go with red, match the 16 badges etc

tyres will be getting replaced when Im back off holiday so hopefully new one's will look nicer!!
