Lower it and get some nice wheels. Then maybe exhaust with the change.

Hi mate.

Nice start there! What wheels does it have on at the moment?

I'd start with a set of Rims and Suspension.

Take a look in my Garage and others for inspiration

What you want?

What size rim do you want?

Aftermarket make or Vauxhall wheels? What sort of style do you want to go for?

Some nice 15" or 15" max, LMF vauxhall are selling softstars cheap at the moment, might be worth a look, lowerd on eibah springs, or if you can afford it a new set up like Koni etc will be £350ish with springs

dont do it and get rid of the thought, all this lot seem to go for speelines but they have been done to death, also on the wheels side of things u need to get something close to ET49 or they will rub, just abit of advise

Yeh that's the right sort of wheel to go for.

Dezent P is a cheaper wheel, My mate has a set on a GSi, but they scrubbed a lot! Not something you want if you're planning on lowering the car!

OE spec stuff if you're on a budget.

Have a look at garages and past feature cars and ideas.
In Marks garage which of these did you mean?
