That looks very nice, how much is it lowered by?
I may be interested in the wheels if you're upgrading

When you put the rubber strips and number plate holder on the front, did you use the ones that were present on your standard chrome bumper car, or are they different? Looks really good by the way, Theo.

I have to admit that i got a bit carried away with the filler..!! and "blended" the original chrome bumpers front and rear, so to answer your question, yes i did use the original black rubber strips etc.. thanks for the comments.!!

Thats look really nice mate, being red really sets the kit off well. I think 17 in Alpinas would look nice but perhaps something a bit different would set the car apart from the bunch. When you get your wheels it would be nice to see a few pics of it !

Good idea, I know the Alpina look has been done to death... and I was thinking about something a bit different.. just have to keep checking fle-bay, unless anyone has any other wheel web sites they can suggest..

I'm not sure what to recommend for the wheels.
Having the wheels in black would be a good theme to continue
Do you have any wider shots of the car now? Side pics etc?
