I was a little sceptical when you first said it but the gamble has certanly paid off!

Car looks good mate. Not keen on the colour of the wheels on the close up shots, but when you see the whole car i do actually like them! Well done for taking such a brave gamble!
Cheers all.
There were times yesterday when I was wondering if I made the right choice, panicking that it would look naff. When I saw them for the first time I was a little "errrr, hummmm". But looked at them again and was chuffed to bits. The finish on them is superb, they wouldn't do the centre caps until I insisted, wish I hadn't have now as they've not come out too great (as the wheel chap advised) so need some standard new centre caps if anyones got any spare
They're certainly attention grabbers, quite easy to keep clean as well compared to the white wheels I had on my previous motor.
Whether is bravery or stupidity on doing it is up for debate

Awesome! love them. I did toy with that idea on mine too, but in the end went for anthracite. however awful paint job and they have been re-done 3 times now, and will be going black next I think as being done again soon. I may soon get some new centre caps for mine... so could have mine up for grabs.
Like people say its "Marmite" but i like those wheels. Your car looking good,and looking at your old 206 remembers me of when i had mine.
Nice too see you with a 225 R tho

Cheers bud, I thought I'd do something a bit different
If you do want rid of your centre caps give me a shout

thanks, there's a lot to do to it yet but I'm in no rush, its a bit of a step up from the french shopping trolley
If only they had BAM engines in them eh? Mind you, there's still the build quality to contend with then
nice motor, hats off for taking a risk with the wheels. It certainly stands out, i think they look ace.
keep up the good work.

Eh up bud, long time no speak. The 206 was great fun. Out handled almost everything on the track (including this very Leon I've got now lol). Just had no real grunt which was a pity. Tried various prototype parts but the engine was just too mild to do anything with.
As for the ex-infoer's part - we've all got to grow up some time
Cheers matey, they get noticed thats for sure. Whether thats a good thing or not I'm not so sure!
Ha ha nice one.
I've been thinking about a Neuspeed ARB and a S3 ARB but though it might make the LCR too stiff? It handles well on the coilovers that are on it now, although I've still not got completely used to it like I did the 206 so I still tend to be a point and squirt merchant.
Full 3" turbo back system and stage 2 remap will be done in April now after my 'Ring trip

Cheers Zara, I plan on doing other red details, Badges and that sort of thing. Someone mentioned Mirror Caps and possibly the Roof to match but I reckon it could be too much.
Thanks, they're animals compared to most other cars i've been in or driven.
DVLA have suprised me and have actually sent the paperwork and new tax disc over a week early! I can get my private reg on the motor now
been waiting too long to be able to do that!
New Plate time Been waiting for feels like ages for this:
Standard Rear, 3/4 size front
And one in the snow!
Now I've noticed rear washer jet isn't working, and the boot is soggy time to get the boot panels out and see where the leak is
