New wheels look a million times better, I had a little cry when I saw the first ones you had on lol :p Taillights look much better now too, and the exhaust tip looks great. Really not a fan of the interior plastic in blue, or the floor mats, but the cluster looks good. :)

Thanks for the comments, yes, I adored the blue, but am growing tired of it, slowly and am thinking going Ivory/Cream white instead, adding white seat covers & mats etc.
