Decided to fit them last weekend as i wasn't that busy and thought it was going to be a massive job. Turns out i didn't have to take the back end off it though so it was fairly easy. A bit daunting cutting chunks of fibre glass out with an air saw and belt sander though. Looks much better now think all vx220's should of come with them from the start. just wanna get some new wheels now, might go for the black VXR220 speedlines.

When using the copy image bbcode thing in the garage, you can just paste that straight in to the reply, you don't need to use the image button as this adds additional [img] tags as you can see in your post.

Very nice - brave to attack such a nice car with saw etc though
Wheels as they are look good, although the proposed wheels you mention should also look good

i don't know how i get away with it had it on for six months now never been stoped for it (touch wood) i had the rear the same but changed it coz it was a bit cheeky.
IAZ i love the car handles like a dream good performance and quite a practical everyday car. Its better over speed bumps than my nova.

Tiny little tanks on them though right? Can't hold more than 35 litres on such a small car?
