I think they look a bit on the large side for a mk2 tbh. Each to their own though.

perfectly understand your point but i think 5 doors look better on bigger wheels. cant explain why though

not updated this for months!

had trouble free motoring for the last few months although the car was off the road without tax for a while.

mot passed only needing a front ball joint.

had a local garage adjust my tracking, they messed it up and i got through a pair of tyres in 300 miles.

spent a few hours cleaning and polishing a few weeks ago. washed/clayed/polished/waxed the body, seats out and cleaned the interior

bought a set of winter tyres and fitted them to a set of porsche space saver spares. sadly i messed the order up and they are way too big. currently deciding whether to leave them on and lift the suspension or fit them to the caddy for the winter instead.



only exciting news is that i have bought a set of BBS RM wheels off a forum member. 



i am going to give these a full refurb. wanting to change the colour of the centres but not sure what to. black doesnt suite my cay, anthracite is a bit modern looking.  tempted my pale gold but it could look awful.  going to fit shiney bolts and polish the lips up.

my only complaint with rm's is the cheap looking centre caps, but not certain there are any other options for that.
