Yes TT Comps are 17" but they did a 16" wheel that looked nearly the same.

Id start with a haircut then a bit of colourcoding.
Find a set of wheels you like(Photoshop some on to give you an idea) as this will change the cars appearance no end!
Main thing to work on is that haircut though  :grin:

Car looks very tidy btw  :wink:
