RAs no contest,  turbos dont suit Big Bumper cars, where as the RAs are spot on!

RA's on your BB.

as I have a small bumper model, you might as well throw those turbo's my way  :smug:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Not actually a fan of RA's, but I think they suit the car better than the turbos. Why do you only have this choice of two rim styles though, there are many other styles of rims out there that really suit big bumper Mk II's

And yes to be honest the front of the car does look a little higher than it should do.
