    Lovely, looks absolutely immaculate. Wheel choice seems a little odd considering the shell is staying so clean and un-fiddled-with in appearance. Fair play to you though, no offence intended :thumbup:

    One question, although I'm sure I already know the answer... it's still Tornado Red, right? Looks a bit deeper. What paint did you use? Obviously a lot is down to the quality of the work, I know, but it looks awesome :)

    Volk/Rays TE37 Wheels are super strong and only 5kg a rim, they also let me run big brakes without spacers and proper et & 4x100
    They are also one of the best wheels on the market now.

    Few wee links to German cars with the rims to run

    So rear top adjustable koni's :thumbup: to get ready to go back in.

    Run these with Eibach 16v golf spring kit which keeps the car right and the right height.
