Photo taken on iphone so colours are a bit meh.

It's not the first time I've seen this done and I don't mind it but think the white would only really work with the red paint scheme......
Hmmmmm, those plates look a bit familiar. :wink:

You really need to do something about that intercooler mate, it's embarrassing!

I believe the stock "intercooler" was actually a photograph of a real one, rotated 90 degrees and printed to scale on an A4 piece of paper.

My memory may be wrong however... :lol:

Enkeis are a classic! I would say that a little less offset would accentuate the spokes. Did the 16x7 come in any less offset?
