not meaning to sound like a twat but its a standard 5 door with slatted grill, clear indicators, lowering springs and a set of german plates.
now i agree it is clean and i like the colour a lot actually but that is pretty much standard tbh
you should have listed your plans or whats coming next etc.
very clean though and i like that

i know it looks pretty much standard atm i have recentley taken off the softstars i put on as i didnt like the look its only been a project for about 3 months
i am in the process of semi- smoothing a boot (will get pics up later)
plans are:
- front and rear rs bumpers
- wheels unsure of yet so i might just buy some cheap cav gsi rims for the time being
- colour coded handles
- roof rails smoothed in
- colour coded arches
what are banded steelies?

car looks nice and clean
i cannot stand this steel wheel bandwagon thats going around though, so imo it needs some alloys

If it was running an XE or something, i could understand the want/need for Steelies.
Have you tried any other sets of OEM wheels, such as Tigra 5 Spokes?
I think any OEM wheels that are MINT will suit the car down to the ground.
Ignore the "Its only got a ocuple of mods" comments, Rome wasn't built in a day

yes i think i worded that a bit shitty, i was getting at the fact that he hadnt listed any ideas or future plans to go with his nearly standard car if that makes any sense
maybe not but i wasnt having a go. just to set the record streight.
id slap some borbet As on there and a nice roof rack though tbh

thnx for all the comments
just for the record the steelies were only put back on untill i can decide what wheels i want too put on. yeh all the euro wheels are great but its just the rubbing issue im having issues with lol
i think i might just get some cav gsi rims cheap and put them on so i can do all the bodywork becuase i dont want to put the bumpers on and have them cracking on speedbumps so need the car bit higher off the ground. god i regret not getting coilovers lol
as for the colour i have had problems with it becuse when i sprayed the bootlock surround the colour code printed on the car is a silvery colour so i really dont know what colour it is! anyone any suggestions. i dont think its cardiac blue

Welcome!! hope you enjoy your stay!
Nice car by the way- and with regards to the rubbing issues! -
HTN can come in et42!
Artec Cups/Ronal Turbos/RH Ad cuprad- they are all around et37!
So all them wheels above aint too bad offset wise if you want euro wheels!
