They look cool on the new retro steels they come on. Will see if I can find a pic.

This

I'm still not sure about them but it does help when it's not wearing overly modern wheels.   There are some bits that ruin the overall retro look it could have had.

Bottom half of the bumper (black part with fogs) looks very similar to the current golf/passat... doesn't suit.  Mirrors also don't suit and rear lights should be much smaller.  I'm being picky I know.
