i totally agree with all your posts lol but they were on the car when i bought it, were even worse, trust me, got my others going on as soon as the rubber arrives and got my eye on a nice set of coilovers to sort the stance, but hey bad wheels are better than no wheels, at least i can still drive her, i just beg the forgiveness of all scoob owners till they are changed, then i will donate them as a prize for the kinda folk that frequent Jeremy Kyle!!

I'm not a fan of bonnets painted a different colour or carbon wrapped bonnets. If it genuine carbon thats different. You could pick up a bonnet in the same colour as your car at a reasonable price then half hour at most to fit it.
Job done.

yeah 2.0 sport, got the full rear hub conversion and front from a wrx to go on and then a nice set of coilovers should sort the look ... cant wait for my other wheels though there is a pic of them in one of my other posts...
