Cool

I give my rims a good coat of wheel wax every month to help protect them from all the crud on the roads. And don't forget winters coming and all that road salt :rolleyes:

I suggest you do the same give them a good coat before you fit them ;)

Anyway can't wait to see them on your car Rick

Very Nice.
Was looking at the Tuner 2 for a while now, also the Unknown ones. Not sure though... i wanted something darker. Will look great on your car though. Are they not the wrong offset for Seats? ie... wont you still need spacers?

have a flick through max power, start with a price then tell the next company will try to beat it (and most often do) when you get your final price and you look at your starting price was you will see that they must have been making a killing on them the first place,

what konigs you after cos certain places i rang didnt do all styles.

I use Meguiars NXT All Metal Polysh

New anti-corrosive technology locks in the shine. NXT All Metal Polysh cleans, polishes and protects all wheels, stainless steel exhausts, chrome air intakes and valve covers, aluminium, brass, copper, silver and all other bright-work components. Meguiar’s Microscopic Diminishing Abrasive Technology (MDAT) removes built-up oxidation, tarnishing and staining faster and safer than traditional/harsh abrasives.


As for the Angel Eyes

This bloke in Germany called Patrick

He replies in English to your Emails

He gives you a tracking number for the parcel and is very well packed.

They cost 261 Euro's including P&P which works out £179

Will Do.
I have been looking at the Unknowns because they are so differet. Not sure on how pointy they are. They are quite deep dished with a very pointed centre hub. I think they would look awesome spinning.

A cheaper option i think i am going to go for is find a nice deep dish 5 spoke wheel and have them colour coded. Hopefully will get the stylish and rare "Oooo" factor, but we shall see.... as soon as my 1.6 Sells.....

What's wrong with a `S`eat badge? Looks like it's been nicked!
Apart from that, nice motor!


nothing wrong with it, i cut it out and meshed it at the front , and had it smoothed out at the back, for a cleaner look.

The Halo Rings require 4 bulb each so that is 8 per headlight which makes 16 bulbs together. The standard bulbs are 501 W5W for the halo rings.

But I brought some LED's instead which look awesome at night with just the side lights on[B)]

Here's a pic of my Xenon white LED's
