i'm not sure whether to get the lips polished or painted?
the centres are either going to be teflon coated or powder coated silver (seems popular lol)

having not fitted them with tyres yet, i can't say for sure, but they looked fine having test fitted just the wheels
i'm going to go more like 60-70mm front, 80mm rear eventually

i saw them and had to have them tbh, the 15" polo gti ones are very common, but in 16" are not so much.
corsas look so good on the mono block RX's, so i figured the 2pc ones would look pretty cool too

Looks better raised a bit IMO!
CDX rear will suit it brilliantly as well although I'm unsure about the Irmscher grill thing, only time will tell.
Look forward to updates

i got them on ebay, i can't say if they're any good yet as i've not fitted them - but i'm assuming they're better than standard ones.
H4 bulbs
i bought led sidelights from the same seller;
