Thanks, I'm getting mixed responses to the wheels but mostly good. Main thing is I like it will be experimenting with the wheel finish in the next few weeks though see if I can darken them slightly will post pictures when I've done that

Hi ! I have followed your posts with interest, you have done some excellent upgrades, but sadly the wheels just aren't right, neither the design or the colour, sorry my opinion !!! Your upgrades have always taken the car upwards, think again and get your class hat back on and right this one off to, to many sherberts !!!!

no worries man everyone is entitled to their opinion. Since I've done what I have with the car there are a lot more around which start to look the same as mine which is why I changed the wheels to keep it different - some people like to blend in with the crowd, I don't

Hi ! Opinions will always differ especially when it comes to standing out from the crowd.... as you say it's your call, so I will have to wait to see what you come up with next........You could always change the white to a bespoke colour or change the hood fabric to a stand out colour ?????? I always enjoy watching what some of the specialist guys do in the States, but in the UK the cost of doing stuff is a least twice to three times more expensive than what they seem to pay>>>>

Hey man, I saw you did the hockey stick led conversion to the straight bar. I want to do this also, do you know how much the lights cost you? Also any problems with replacing the old ones? or are they just plug and play

I think they were something like £250 GBP, so somewhere around $400, I just left my car with the dealership while they sorted it and paid up at the end, the tech said it was a pretty simple job and he didn't take the bumper off just disconnected the lamps and removed them from underneath the car.. so if a dealer or fitter tells you they can't be fitted then they're lying
