Very nice, my favourite colour.

I'd get those wheels changed though!

Handling, grip and ride quality are my main priority when it comes to wheel choice and before I bought it the plan was to fit a set of stock wheels back on. However having driven the car I'm very impressed just how planted it feels and how well it grips and handles. Someone has spent some time setting up the suspension/geometry to suit the wheels.

Planning on taking it on the track, so may get a set of stock wheels to compare, ultimately my wheel of choice would be a set of Volk TE37's.

I would love a set of TE37's on my car. It's just finding a set of the right widths/size and offset. And the ones that would suit my desires of those combos would probably cost 4 figures :lol:

Great looking car. Wheels are sex, definitely keep them but I'd change that front number plate if I were you. Mine used to be that size and I ended up with a £60 fine and a marker on my car for it :lol: Really annoying when every bored copper tugs you and walks to the front of the car for a look before even saying hello :lol:

I don't like the design where the outer line and spokes are all out at the same level.
If you understand what I'm trying to explain.

Look, my spokes start at a different point. They don't align with the outer piece of alloy. Those alloys are not my cuppa tea.

Personal thing!

Car looks very nice, i'm not keen on the wheels either, well I do like the design of the wheels, they just look too big for the car in my opinion, however each to their own...

Very nice, not usually a fan of wheels like that but they suit the car and look good with the headlights and rev5 spoiler!

James, she's a credit to you and the other owners, I spent a long time looking for the right car and I couldn't be happier :D

Yep, I only sold it cause I went travelling for 18 months. Always said I wanted to buy it back when I was back (In 7 months time) ;)

Couldn't justify it sitting in my garage :(

Good luck with her.
