It looks like my blue seats will be getting replaced by black ones. 2 sets have came along at once :D

I see..well I think the red lip would be nice as the mirror you could get sick of it very handy..red lip more jap dc5 type off race look but thats just my view on it..

Yeah the red isnt so great on the blue car but i think the black car looks ok with it.

Stoo are ur tyres slightly stretched on those alloys or is it just my eyes?

If i went to 18" and got slightly lower profile tyres what would be the max depth i could take? Car is on springs at 25 or 30mm i think? eibach springs i believe.

thinking i would get away with 18x8 if the et was 30-40??

I ment will companies fit tyres that are too small for the rim? or does it have to be a friend / back hander?

Depends how much

Mine are literally nothing. Easy as nirmal tyres to fit.

The other ones, my old ones, had to be done by a friend with a cheetah!
