The OZ wheels look far better! Looks like the tyres are too low profile though, and that's what makes them look small compared to the 19s. What is the tyre size on each wheel?

cracked on today and had a go at replacing the front grill badge



pretty easy to remove actually,the worst part was to come removing the badge itself

this pic shows where i had to grind down the plastic tabs to get the chrome badge out


line the new badge up and turn to lock into place

fitted result



altogether about an hour job done ;)
cheers

Finally got my other bargain ready to be fitted today

powder coat version but sent it off to a company in warrington to be cam coated in there turboX ceramic coating
standard pipe

new pipe coated


now off to the removal of the ITG enclosed intake(excuse the dirty engine bay)


all out and pretty straight forward,just the jubille clip onto the throttle body was twisted the wrong way around lol

onto the removal of the engine cover plinths,10 mm bolt underneath then a pair of mole grips to twist off the top ready for a garage midnight heat shield


onto the revo installation,back to the awkward jubilee clip again lol,this time with my bendy screw driver bits dead easy lol



finished result took about 1.5 hours



First impressions are very good,only driven it about 5 miles and can tell the throttle is more responsive straight away,pulls very well to the red line,now with selling the itg already the whole set up only cost me my time and £25,well happy
