Ummm
Undecided. Not sure whether those wheels suit the shape of the car, they're very linear (if something round can be linear?!) where Cyclones are kinda curvy.
Yellow fogs does look good though, I recently lost my yellow paint. I might buy more from eBay but you just know if I do I'll find the old pot!

@car you know they look epic!! Lol
I know what you mean tho, I do love clones but at the end of the day, so does everyone!
It's nice to have something a bit different to clones/challengers/nimrods!
The fogs need redoing, they look shocking up close!
Gonna keep them on until the smooth front end goes on then swap for rallye blanks I think!
@kent cheers bud, I know, I love them!
Keep driving through town to look in the shop windows! Lol

Cheers mate!
I think 17's sit perfectly on a 40mm drop but any more would be better with 16's. plus you can get closer to oem rolling radius with 17's than 16's!
I'm from an age where the general rule is 'bigger is better'. Lol
I expected the ride to be really harsh on 40 profile tyres but in all honesty I can barely tell the difference!
Got it tracked yesterday and found out the rear beam has just over 1degree of chamber! 
Won't be long till I need a new beam by the looks of things!

Aww mate, you can come have a go if you want to reminisce! Lol
I love it mate, glad I kept them silver tho, at least it's a little different to yours!
Possibly go a shade or two darker next year but nothing major!
When I get 5 mins the pug lions are going graphite the same as my masks!

Yeah I always said the only colour that truly goes with moonstone is silver. But I didn't want silver it gets a little boring. Took me months to find another colour.
I would go for a ride but it ain't quick enough dude :p.

Your anthracite looked nice mate but in the dark you may aswell have steels on cos you can't see them!
Give over, it's just as quick as your old one!
Stage 2 when the weather picks up!

Haha, I have a sandbag lowering system (really technical stuff) in my boot pal, along with all my tools etc! Hardly rallye spec!
What you doing with it, sorting it first or doing it as and when?

Really not sure. Corsa is t&t till end of the month so might use that time to get coil overs and things on. But doubt it'll be sprayed till after Christmas.

My dad says mot it and eBay it. But not sure. Defferntly not be scrapped. A car on eBay with good mot sells for about £400.

i like it but now a fan of the wheels either tbh, i used to have a similar style but was 5 spoke and wasnt flat cut, they remind me a bit of khan 17's which were popular years ago, but i hate the handling on 17's since going to 15's TBH

Cheers bud, yeah I'm having mixed reviews on the wheels tbh, they remind me of Audi s3/TT wheels, yeah they would probably have been better in a 16" but it's my daily so can't go any lower so these fill the arches nicely. plus it really doesn't get thrashed about, i dont really get the chance anymore so doesn't really make much odds to me.

Fair play then bud if just for looks then WIN, dont get me wrong i do like them, maybe would look better with the smoothing you mentioned

I'm getting old now bud, plus I've had too many speeding fines so have to keep a lid on it! Lol
Don't get me wrong I chuck it about from time to time but its hardly a track car!
Yeah I'm hoping the smoothing looks good, shame I can't afford to get it painted properly yet tho!

Cheers mate, it's come a long way in a pretty short time tbh.
I've always preferred the blanks tbh, looks cleaner. Apparently they are like £14 from pug.
Yeah, just stage 1'd ATM, clutch is starting to give up so concentrating on aesthetics until the weather warms up a bit.

Again another vote for not a fan of those wheels. But on the up side they look better in silver.
Can i make a suggestion? Its the center caps that look shite IMO they are way to bolky . As i said to kent if you could find a less bolky more flush replacment i think they would look alont nicer and be one off
