The tyres are only slightly stretched. No I didn't photoshop the intake feed on the o/s. it's a trumpet but with a grille fitted. I bought new sti decals and transferred it onto the grille. If you zoom in you can see what I mean

Those XXRs are sweet, I'm considering some 17s with chunky tyres as daily runners to absorb the potholes on my route to and from work - any cheap second-hand ones are welcomed

My mate was selling his for £220 in good condishion and that been the cheapest I've seen for sale.....£100!!! You need to be realistic at wot these cost.....but as for front end mods to a bug.....the prodrive bumper and sti head lights are 2 of the best IMO
