Not my car - belongs to a guy I went to school with. This photo came to my attention, and, well.. I think it's really quite stunning.





Yea or nay?

It was a standard C30, I forget which engine.

Interesting, I thought there'd be mixed responses, apparently not so far! hehe

Here's another shot:

Wheels are too small, otherwise I'd like it. The wheels should be concentric with the wheel arches; too big or two small usually just looks awful.

Wrong wheels, too small too. Front looks nice though, although, are they yellow fog's I see?

squints

Possibly yellow fogs, in other photos it looks maybe slightly yellow but not full-on.

I do agree that the side profile makes the wheels look too small, mind. All about making it look lower, I presume.

Different wheels and it'd be bang on for me.

I saw one of these in the metal today, great looking cars although the back is a bit marmite.

This one would, IMHO, look lovely with some properly-sized silver wheels!

Came with these ones, also notice silver mirrors:



Think I might prefer that, actually.

Too low, plus black wheels that look like they should be on an old, modded Japanese thing. So it's a nay.

Standard T5 SE Sport/R-Design pre-facelift in Cosmic White with Java Kit and on the 18" Atreus wheels = superb.

The wheel size/suspension drop doesn't suit the car. Modern car wheel arches are way to big to try the "euro/jap look" IMHO. Saying that, all credit to your mate for modifying something other than a German car.thumbup
