Thanks Rob, I will get a smaller plate but not yet, as I'm getting a personalised one for my 21st in October, so don't see the point until then.

They are Halfords rattle cans, its Rover Gunmetal Grey.
I really want to lower the front a touch more, the back is just about perfect for my liking, as it is still useable, but the front mudflaps catch on every speedbump already, just not sure.
If I do lower it more, it won't be until the summer holidays from Uni anyway.

Excellent choice - I had this colour alloys on my old car
Looking lovely mate
Whats the penalty for letting your cows off their lead these days?

I know, I asked you what colour yours were as I liked them
The penalty is just 6 magic beans and an ear these days, it used to be your life!

I do have locking nuts, but only three of them, one of them fell out of that wheel
As I walked across the drive to the car one day, I noticed a nut was missing, so just replaced it with a standard, and haven't bought a new set yet

Get aero wipers on the front And get some griffin badges back on the wheels, but painted black - would look smart imo!

I went to Vauxhall about the griffin badges, but they said they don't sell them separately, they only come on the centrecaps themselves
