im not really into loud cars unless they are fast and i cant stand big ugly "jap cans" so i went for a standard rear and spent a good wee bit on cleaning products

quite happy with the height its at .. im in to the "low and slow" sort of look justnow. Really needs some wheels as these momo wheels are killing my eyes. i have also taken the spoiler off, think it makes the car look a lot better with out it
anyway enough jibber jabber if yous have any suggestions on what wheel to get or anything to make the car look better give me a heads up :)
 
Welcome along mate, car looks great, fair play :nice: Nice set of wheels and your on to a winner!
 
welcome to the forum mate, looks like you got a bargain there :nice:

My fiancee used to stay in Erskine :p
 
very nice! instantly looks better once lowered :nice:
 
So finally passed my test and got insured in november, it has taken me till now to get wheels and tires fitted. i bought ITR wheels to start with, with the intention to get a 5 stud conversion but i couldnt be bothered with all that hassle for me to have 5x114 and be limited to certain wheels. flingin a few pics up date this, if theres any meets soon id love to come along .. check out some of the cars on this

also bought some 10mm spacers yesterday for the back so there on now aswell
 
Really don't like they wheels mate, it's more of a euro look but well done with not buying a silly big exhaust etc
 
i used to really be into vw's and audis so they have always been my fave wheels. looked better than i thought they would though. yeh its a bit impractical because of how low it is but i cant stand loud exhausts. going to try position the silencer in the middle a bit higher because it catches everything!
