OK, so its not as exciting as chucking a Single Turbo Supra engine in but heres my lastest machine after a few bits and bobs have been put on.

All comments and suggestions welcome as usual, I have included a pic at the bottom of a rough photoshop. Its an idea im toying with as cant really afford to waste the cash on a nice new set of 18s and the current wheels need refurbished pretty badly.
Next move is a nice stainless steel exhaust.

Its excellent in the damp and wet conditions, just a little underpowered for any fun dry stuff!
Tell your mate to make me an offer :p

@ Jason, you for mean Mint, immaculate low mileage stuff!

If you can see, well you prob cant, theres a diamond cut finish on the face of the wheel which is quite smart. Another option was to have it polished to mirror finish then just paint the silver parts a nice bright silver again.

But im liking the dark grey/anthracite idea just to be different.

I think it really suits the dark wheels, thats what I'd go for. Tho the rear wheels need spaced out badly imo! And a bigger tailpipe to fit the hole in the bumper. Looks really well tho, like it a lot.

Yeah, im thinking a small set of spacers for the rear aswell, looks worse now as its been lowered they have cambered in quite a lot.
And exhaust is the next item im shopping for, mainly to fill the gap as you say.

What about dark wheels with the polished face? Or would that just cheapen the car like hell?

Looks very well Harry, id also definitely go downt he dark wheel route- totally transforms it.

Never been tempted with a slightly higher spoiler?

Cant say ive given a lot of thought to a higher spoiler, only one I would ever change it to is this one, and id prob only do that if I had a big set of 18s to tie in with it.
Oh and im glad about all this positive feedback on the wheels, very tempted to go for that now.

Personally i prefer that spoiler, i think it looks more balanced with the skirts + rear splitter etc. Hard to explain what i mean without sounding critical!

Yeah, get the wheels done for defintie.

looking well there harry... the wheels in the photoshopped one really suit it... but as andy says, do not put those eyebrow things on mate....

Stay away from the stickers and eyebrows IMO, otherwise it looks really well, especially with the anthracite rims.

Some spacers, especially at the back, would really help if you're sticking with the standard rims.
