I prefer the BBS too. I've seen those wheels on a chrome black car and they looked fine.

Would also prefer smoked indicators all round.


Looks like a really nice car though.

the front indicators are tinted dont know why they look clear in pics, as for the side repeaters im still looking.

Looks lovely! Really like this car!

When you brought the car it looked awesome, and I just wondered if you knew if at all how much had it been lowered?

have no idea the springs on it origonaly although were red seemed to make the car sit high. coming home the head light beams were on the floor so i put the springs on my moore door in temporarily.

cheers for the comments tho guys :cool:
