Original wheels looked much better also the Black lion badge was better as well. It's a sweet car. I love the colour
Original wheels? And look like every other redline? 19s are to small and 9 inch rears are to narrow.

Realised I haven't updated in a fair while.
Have removed all the chrome from the front of the car minus the badge

Have swapped the cheap tyres to some Bridgestone potenza RE003.

And finally have done a towbar delete by getting a new diffuser without the towbar cut out.

Next up will be wrapping the roof black.

Very nice !
Did you notice poor colour match between the body colour and your rear bumper ? Really shows in that second photo !

I agree the black badge suits it but not those black OEM rims.

I think it's just the light and maybe a bit of the processing that the phone camera does as most phones do some auto correcting , it doesn't appear that way in person but can see what your saying for sure!

New update is having the roof and spoiler wrapped, pretty happy with the job, still weighing up to either getting some lower rear springs or getting some sports armour.

How much lower can you go with that fitment ?

IMO, sports armour uglys up the front.

+1 sports armour is for old blokes that don’t want to scratch their bar on stock height car :D

Rear is 20x10 275/30 42p so plenty of room, it's my daily so I just don't want to compromise on the ride so would be looking at some rear coils or bilsteins with sssl's?
