The wheels on it are just so it can be moved around the correct wheels are the 16inch split rims that I've had refurbished and will be fitted when car near completion.

Maybe its a different shade, but if you google "205 Dimma Blue". It was identical to that colour.

Are you not going for the cossie bomnet vents as per the orig Dimmas? I have been toying with them on mine to get rid of some of the turbo heat.

Not a big fan of the vents and they were only a option anyway and only really serve a purpose on the tt.

Absolutely. Have you given yourself a timescale on having the car 'finished' and do you have any more bits to source?
