Ok, got them at last! Well pleased with them... Don't look as big as I though compared to the 17" MiM's. Not sure about the blue centre caps, I might go for black. And yes I need bigger brakes!
The suspension will drop a little as they have just been fitted.
Toyo Proxes - 215 35 18....
A few pics also for those who've asked me for more of the DRM wing.
Bonjour.

Hi Mark!
Looks awesome m8! Are you keeping it now?
It looks even better than with the 17s. Is the ride any harder? Don't suppose you'd be selling them by any chance?
Just had mine dropped 30mm!!!
Cheers
Rich

MB,
Nice one mate. I sprayed my centre caps Datsun gold from a spraycan. Bung 'em in the oven on a low heat with the door open for 20 minutes.
That spoiler is top. We got the same taste me and you. I was gonna get one but I decided no spoiler looked best of all.
I'll post the piccies when my MO's have been sprayed.
Crypt' - £440 all in from Performance Parts Luton.

Crypt' 440 for 4. Thats 4 with the VAT added on as well. The only extra I payed was £17 delivery from Luton to Manchester. I couldn't believe it either. Telephone number is on the Compomotive website

Hello M8,
Very Nice! does suit have you noticed more tilt??? looks like I was not alone on going for 18" m8.
I am more confident with the Prodrive Geo setting on this size, before I had Power S which was dodge.

Colin,
Not sure on the handling yet as im bedding the rubber in... Sounds a bit louder and definately firmer on the road... feeling every bump!
DMB, not having any seat wetting bit**es on my seats!
Rico, good price, I feel robbed!
TC, didn't go for the cat in the end, too much wedge so spending a few pennys on mine. Just bedding in the rubber on that back road...
Bonjour!
