Like it a lot too, the body work and paint look in reasonably good nick too which is a bonus.

Are they ATS Cup wheels? Look good any how. Welcome.

to answee questions, the car is lowered it has 323 springs all round with 1 coil lopped of the front pair, still needs lowering more but springs where a present (thanks fritz bits). wheels are off golf, they are similar to ATS cups but these are made by aluline and have center caps unlike the ATS's so they look bit better, thinking about spraying the res of the center black and just leaving polished lip. oh and the ghost is my mate jamie who passed away 3 years ago, his spirit is trwpped in the car and he scares of chavs how try and scratch my paintwork

no my mate didnt die, i was only joking. he isnt really a ghost he was just running past my picture. not sure i wanna change the headlights on my car (got all the bits n e way) i think i like the retro single headlight's, i have been stuck with e30's for ages which always come with twins. think i might upgrade to discharge headlights though for that retro modern look

oh hear is a piccy of my old race bus
