I think you should leave it how it is and colour code the bumper inserts, the breytons look lush and you dont see many tourings with them on! You see millions of euro tourings with tec2 bumpers!

Just my opinion, thats what Im gunna do! Tec2 pods and colour the bumpers !

Absolutly lovely wheels, the stretched tyres look nice too.

Just keep about 2ft away from the kerb when parking just to make sure that no marks appear on them. :D

That looks sweet-as mate - but i would not put the M-Tech on

The stretch tyre matches the style of the kit and looks spot on imo - just a touch lower like you say.

I've never seen another Breyton'd Tourer.......
