....

The black wheels particularly suits with the black roof and mirrors, Mat :happy2:

But don't gild the lilly - I'd think long and hard before wrapping part of your splitter.

I will quickly try some black tape on it just to get an idea if I like it in black or not

thats y i have form and function pure and simple as they give the car the look i want  :evilgrin: and do the job i need them to do for the track days   :smiley: but it also gives me the chance to have a play with the stock ed30 alloys  :grin: bit of a change in colour i think

how much is your car lowered? Do you find it practical, and what springs did you use?
Just got my 18s fitted, but want it down a little and yours looks like one of the best lowered ones on the board (sorry everyone else!)  :booty:

....Depends on how you define "practical" - I'm ok on 99% of speed bumps but most indoor car parks with ramps are out of bounds! I have to go on the lower deck of the Chunnel too but I consider that to be a big advantage when wider tracked.
