I'm getting it delocked next week with colour coded Vectra handles, gonna get a rear diffuser for that bumper and then maybe tint the windows. It all costs money tho unfortunately!!

Thanks for the comments on my car, I think the wheels make a big difference.

BTW, Mav3000 - I don't know what you mean by
"They look like theire the wrong wheels for the car. "

Any aftermarket wheel is going to look like that!!

Nowt wrong with fox alloys, by the way don't kurb them cos I have the same finish on mine and having them refurbished and they can't match the colour and fox won't help them...

Nice car.... but as soon as you put someone or something heavy in the pack... your screwed.

Also get some different wheels.... its a nice car.... some 17's would do it... but stay clear of fox alloys

They're Gmax, Had to get the front end so far off the ground to change the wheels tho, they just wouldn't lift!! The joys of having a modified car I suppose ;-)

check out the springs (they're red!), its the angle of the picture I think, but it does just sit on the tyre.

that is not lowered anywhere near 35mm at the back. mine sat on the top of the tyre on 16's on 35mm springs.
