Like the car, dislike the wheels :(

Get some CH's on it

looks a bit better now!

wash and wax and some megs black stuff! pics dont do it justice, some sun would have been nice

and one of the forge air filter

CH's would be nice! but at 2k i think i'll pass!

You can get decent reps for £400 nowadays

Tidy

Reps will weigh more than the car, then theres issues will corrosion and seen a fair few buckled

Anyways i like the wheels

Oh btw the other half's female just thought id mention that! Didnt want any wrong ideas

It really makes me miss mine. (I didn't have a GF sat on top either)

I had the Charlston Alloys on mine which I liked. Thought about some R32 rears lights?

Those alloys are nice!

What is the difference with the lights? Black headlights would be cool too but dont want to go too crazy as cars still under warranty

Since when did that stop you?

The R32 rear lights have a slight tint.

It's really easy to change the rears. The headlights I can't comment on! The alloys are diamond cut and look spot on - Just a tad hard to find!

Yes ive noticed on the gti they have smoked indicator lenses on the wing mirrors

I think sensible future mods will be

Gti rear valance

Gti sideskirts

Lamin-x headlights

Tinted windows (she wants badly)

Maybe anthracite the stock wheels (quite like the 17's as lows and smaller wheels always looked more low if you get me - plus its comfy)

New wheels!

18" gloss black

Binned the coilies too and went for eibach sportline springs

Proper pics up tomorrow!

more pics please lol ;-)

some car ones also

Looking tidy that. What did you do with the old wheels Jase?

Still have them? Looking to sell them! Interested?

Just received the kerbed alloy phonecall off her..... Great!! Day 2!!

Day 2's kerbage

Overall

Rather ****ed

Looked better with OEM wheels on IMO but if she keeps kerbing them, the black will disappear nicely...

Always looking to spend money...if I've ever got any lol.

Would they have tyres etc, presume 5x112 too.

Yes they have tires!

17"

7J

Et54

5x112 fitment

Pics

Worst damage

All wheels have slight scuffs but i have touched them all in with paint. They look good

Not quite daylight pics

But vw centres now on and custom r badges

Black wheel bolts on way too

Pics

My attempt at an arty shot

Girls + Alloy Wheels = Bugger! The Fiat 500 has never been the same since. :no:
