Well, everyone has different opinions...

I'm sure Hurdy agrees with me, Reflex Silverrr all the way  :party:

Sorry Richi, I thought you were asking our opinions on the wheels and bodykit?  :chicken:

 They're nice wheels, but I think the pirelli comes with nicer wheeks as standard. I'd stick with them. (if you don't bags first dibs at buying them off you :pomppomp:)

I personally think the Pirelli should be unmolested, its uniqueness is its selling point for me


....I wholeheartedly agree :happy2:

In fact I almost feel the same about the Ed30. But the Pirelli is much rarer.

I vote yay for those oettinger alloys providing the original Pirellis are kept for the next buyer (you'll get a better price). I've seen them in the flesh and they look excellent. But watchout for the dreaded white worm!!

my view is if you mod a pirelli keep the oem bits off it, yes its a bit martmite but ours has really grown on me, indeed the alcantara is brilliant, wheels are anightmare with my missus  :sad1:

colour wise its got to be graphite blue in a 3 door

i'll happily take the four rims off you though :wink:

i like...... except for the wheels i,m afraid. prefer more spokes/less open space on rims. but love the bumper front splitter and the rear bumper.
and this silver thing is growing on me lol :ashamed:

The Pirelli should be left completely standard apart from the wheels, suspension and engine. It has many unique features that single it out from the crowd, it would be silly to change any of that  :wink: As far as the wheels, not for me personally, not enough spokes, BBS FTW  :happy2:
