My First Mk1, Updated and back after TWO years :) RE SPRAYED
I seen them at the scrappy full tread and that ?7 a tyre so had to be bought really, I had to put spacers on the front as hey were catchin on calipers. Is it true if your wheels stick out its a instant ban???

Not sure of the instant ban, might be 3 points per offence as per wheel, so maybe thats where you get instant ban, don`t really know. If you keep them wheels you could get arch covers which should then just bring the fronts in.
I would just sell them on though and get a different set

dude your scaring me that motor is a real real find dont fun$k with it to much invest in sum coilovers 300 quid v maxx and get sum nice wheels ats,p slots,equip,exip,banded steel,mini lites,turbins,check wheelwhores out for ideas original interiors rule i dont mean to be a c-n-t and its got nuffin to do with me but i just really like your car im gonna shut up now
nice car dude
Ok mate
wel im only 17 and i dont have the biggest income. So i have tried not to spend to much. My old interoir was all messed up and needed a new one. For the wheels i bought them for ?75 and sprayed them myself. I do want to get a nice set of wheels but the ones you listed as quite common i like to be a bit different and bad opinions dont really bother me.
And im getting the coilover in the next few weeks. The only prob is that wit the new engine it sits low to the flow as it is. so the only thing i scared of is that i wont be able to lower it to what i want as i may catch on the floor.
Thanks for your comment though mate
