hidden exhaust
painted engine bay to match car

now settled on a set of schmidt modernlines, 16x7.5 fornt and 9s rear
comments welcome! 
ive had it on a few sets of rims but last pics are as it is now
A set of proper mattig mirrors, Currently on golf base plates,

You have the wheels I LOVE and was going to put on the 180 if I was to euro it! So glad I didn't now it would have been a waste of time and money knowing that someone else was going for a similar look with the wheels. I was also going fancying a similar stitching pattern on the seats but with a darker red  309's are the way forward for me now though 
I'm glad you painted the engine bay whilst the engine was out! I like this wee car, i'm so glad you got rid of the jap-can too You score 10/10 + 1 for your own efforts.

I don't think they're supposed to be either though?
