not thought about that, but I think dragon green wheels would be a bit too much tbh. Need to get my priorities straight though cos there are a thousand other things that should take priority, but I just cant help myself sometimes!

Glad im not the only that suffers from this...

ive decided the only way im going to 'mod' my car is to do it on a 'pocket money' budget, really need to save  :sad:

on the exception of when things 'need' doing tryes, brakes, services etc  :wink:
