Like the wheels dude! I thought about them for mine as it goes.

P/F do look so much better with colour coded strips (Mine too!)
If you ever get round to it change the wing mirrors to F/L too - they are so much better!

What is the insert for the grill - home made or adapted from somthing else?

Lovely car, lovely car! : :) :y :) :y

Thanks for that mate, i'm well happy with her now!!
Grille insert is one i made from a 54 plate corsa lower bumper grille and then attacked it with an air saw!!
Still looks a bit rough round the edges close up but it only took me half hour to make so i cant grumble!

Your 19s look amazing but offset is a bit high on those, I am guessing between 40-50mm... you should get a pair of H&R Spacers either 15-20mm and install them on all 4 corners...

That will push the wheels further out to the fenders and give a meaner looking stance. 
As long as you dont go too big on the spacers you will avoid any rubbing issues too.

You would never believe it was the same car.

Colour coding the plastics makes such a difference!

Did you have to modify the new side mouldings in any way?

All i did with the mouldings was to remove the fixing clips from the back then bond them to the door! Might be cheating.......but it works for me!! lol ;)

Car looks amazing now mate... hard to believe the difference.

Do the old mouldings come off quite easy, presume they're stuck on with trim tape?
