Well, I got the wheels from ABW for £400

I really like the kit, and personally think the 22b front bumper is so much better than the chargespeed one!

Must admit, visually wise, I like this car better than my old one, the paint work looks great and much nicer than the old V-Limited blue. However performance wise, it's got all the cats in it, so the power is being strangled, but I can't compare the 2 scoobs really as my old one had a 2.5 engine, Apexi FC, water injection and loads of other mods and this is relatively standard apart from the prodrive back box.

Though it won't stay standard for long and I've got a few tricks up my sleeve:P

In short, I'm really happy with it, so a big thanks goes to ABW

And thanks goes to Wozzaa for the first mod - Cornelius window graphics

Thanks mate

I haven't taken any pics of the interior or engine as it could do with a good valet, so next job is to steam clean the engine bay, find my collection of silicon hoses in the garage and colour code the engine, and am playing around with the idea of polishing the inlet manifold

Thanks guys, I'm really pleased with the car!

I did think about having full graphics on it, but I personally think it would be OTT, so all it's going to have is ABW on the skirts and probably sunstrips
