[ChrisJ]

Very nice mate, much better. Just need some new wheels now.

[Emma_ZS]

[Albino-jay]

i know i know :(

wheels = couple of hundred, painting my lights £5 you can see why the lights won this time

i thnk im getting some 15" nimrods in white. if not itll be some steelies preferably 15" off a van

[Baz]

nimrods in white would look sweet

[craigy_87]

could get some raylle steelies from pug dont think they cost all that much

[Yates]

that needs standard bonnet, standard mirrors, standard white steelies and standard front lights!! you cant change rallyes its the law

[Bondie]

Really looks the part with the black bonnet nice one buddy

Bondie

[davew]

[CAL99vts]

[TU-Tuning]

Looks much much better mate, looks really tidy. Will look spot on with some new rims, white nimrods are the way forward i reckon

[mrolinc]

edit: found what i was looking for, nice lights mate

[riggsy]

Lights look alot better mate well done!

Rims let it down though.

Do they come apart realy easily after being in the oven then?

[GTI_Lee]

You've done a good job on them lights mate! Looks sweet!

[goat_janine]

that needs standard bonnet, standard mirrors, standard white steelies and standard front lights!! you cant change rallyes its the law

Im in agreement with that. Rallyes are something you just dont change imo. Sorry.

[saxooxas]

i think it looks nice, probably even better with some white steelies!

[belly_VTS]

Im in agreement with that. Rallyes are something you just dont change imo. Sorry.
