Great car, over wheels I'd do the following:

Leather armrest (if seats allow) 32 wheel and a centre retrim to remove the .:R badge (personal pet hate of mine).

No need to change wheels mate the polished face is perfect (you know this) only wheels worth a purchase are Comp Mo18s IMO.

Wish I hadn't fallen out of interest with mine haha

Cheers mate :)

The armrest is a good shout. There should be enough room but I'll have to investigate a bit further. A 32 wheel is something I may do sooner than planned now.

I've talked myself out of the Mo's as they're a bit on the heavy side and I've added weight with the interior. Also there's another set of wheels which I prefer the look of more, and they're light! Rung up a seller today to discuss them and was happy with what I heard. We'll see though... I do love my wheels now. When they're clean and I've taken pics before they set it off well.

It's not too late to find the love for yours again mate ;)

Do like those seats, was very tempted when I saw the set that AKS had myself. Loved them in Buch's car. If I hadn't been changing car this year I'd have had em.

Yeah they're lovely mate. Really happy I took the plunge on them :) I wanted Recaro's but everyone else is getting them and then I saw these and they're the full monty, lol. Had to be done.

James L got those one's at AKS. They looked pretty mint too.

Wheels.

So after much deliberation in my head about what to do with the thing next, it's time to shoe it up!

I have driven past El's car down the road from me a couple of times now and I just need to get some now really!

Plenty of other mods I still want to do, but I think wheels will take priority... So when I'm ready they will be bought.

I am pleased to say I have 100% chosen my wheel too now. :D

Thanks to El and D.K for the help and info. Especially the photoshop El ;)

Wellllll...:whistle:

I thought I had.. :think:

Having 2nd thoughts. I think I might be like this for a while. I won't do it if I'm not sure.

Lol you cheeky sod I knew it.. :ban:

What are you doing with your current wheels?!?!;)

Still undecided mate. If I do sell mine now, there is already a keen buyer waiting who asked me just recently who I've given first dibs.

Right now though I'm really unsure. I need a break in the weather and a chance to clean the car back to how it should be. Then look at it again. Not seen it at a good standard in 2-3 months.

Could end up leaving new wheels entirely yet! :happy:

Wheels are staying put.. Had a good think the last two days what to do and now have a plan to finish the car by summer. Then no more!

Dan the only thing left after my list is done is to go for more power. If I had money to burn I'd think about it but sadly I'm not a street pharmacist ;)
