To start off with, last week it was the first time I carried someone in the back seat of my car since it has been lowered and it scubbed like hell on the TSW's, also knocked the exhaust off when i went over a speed bump with someone in the back
So the plan was to get some new wheels around March time when I get some money on my Birthday, but then these wheels came up for sale on ebay around the corner from me, so made him an offer of £180 and he took it, so got them picked up, just needed 2 new tyres which I had fitted today.
Weird thing about the tyres is one pair had 195/45's and another pair had 205/50's, they apparently came off a Corsa C Sxi+, they come this size standard or has someone swapped tyres over before?
Well with the wheels on and car cleaned I then invited a couple of mates to come around, all gave our cars a clean and went for pictures.
Mine, my mate Rich and his Brocade Sport and My Mate Ryan's Focus.
New rear mudflaps again, thought mine had been nicked but turns out my dad helped himself to mine when they where off the car lol, he bought me some new ones this week so got them on today.
You can notice my lovely bent side skirt in this pic  . soon to be replaced
Enough of Mine
One of my Mates has just bought a 1.4 Corsa Sport in Brocade Yellow, he bought it like it is in the pictures, has loads of plans but hes starting off with some lower profile tyres, 60mm drop, depo's, MHW's and de-badged grill.
Any Idea's on what to do to his are welcome, he should be all signed up on to CS later
And finally my mates Focus, he also has alot of plans for it, coilovers are next, along with a few subtle exterior modifications, hes also planning on tuning the 1.6 lump as hes read alot of info on ffoc so hes got a good idea on what he wants to do.
Got loads more pics in my garage for those interested
Mines going into the bodyshop in April, and having the splitter smoothed in to the bumper, and a semi-smooth boot done and also having some interior bits sorted out.
Then later down the line both me and my Mate are going for XE conversion's
All opinions welcome

Cheers people
Really chuffed with the wheels, I think I will keep them silver for the time being, love driving it now and not having it scrubing like mad on the back.
Vauxhall Wheels FTW
