Went for a drive, just for the sake of it. Nice. :smiley:

Whilst doing the usual ebay browsing came across a CSS rear box for sale new. Cheaper than I thought and perhaps a good alternative to a non-OEM system if you want a bit more sound, guaranteed fit, bigger tips (!) and a wallet friendly mod...

That's very nice. I wasn't a big fan of those Clubsport 18's at first but that looks well.

Thanks!

Yes I wasn't 100% how they'd look but very pleased with the outcome. Look a lot better than the Austins did 👌🏼

Thanks! I was set on Santiagos but came across these without the premium tax associated to the 19's so took a bit of a punt  :smiley:

Thanks! Not a great deal given it seems no one wants 18's - 1/3 of the cost of any set of 19's!

I think you made the correct choice. They look great!
They really suit it and will be a much rarer sight than the santiagos. Plus your tyres will be cheaper and ride less firm...

That car looks seriously lowered? Which would enhance the look if so.

I had been hunting for Pretoria's but then gave up - impossible to track down for sensible money!
