Why have you disgusted this forum with those shite photos? :lol:

My suggestion would be to paint the wheels original alloy silver colour, as others said, unless it's lowered, it won't look right with white wheels. It depends on what you're after though, everyone's got their own agenda :thumb

It's a suck and see.
Best combo for a white cav is loads of colours like mine or simply black

paint the wheels anthracite, the dark colour gives a exellent contrast with the white, you dont want any of the colours mentioned as they look shite and chavy, Ads

Here's a thought... Don't take it the wrong way...
Swap it for a sheep...
Are you doing things to your car that YOU like?
Or what is 'accepted' by the masses...

The white looks good, gsi grille... Nice set of 17" deep dish wheels,
Lower it about 30-40mm, subtle stainless exhaust, Sri lip spoiler (mine had a vec b wing aswell)
Limo black the rear windows...
Gsi front bumper... Or get a splitter on yours...

You could fit rear door handles on the front and get a good remote locking kit...

Spend some time looking through the project threads and see what other people have done that you like :)

What did you use to tint them? They look alright but personally if you have vauxhall indicators I would have separated the lens and painted the inside up to the inner lens.

The headlights are easy if you do them carefully, remove the light, carefully remove the clips holding the glass lens on and separate the two being careful not to damage the lens or seal.
Try and pul the seal from backing than the lens to prevent damaging the seal, paint the front only and not the recess around the bulb like this (this was a photo originally from A-J 's WIP):

My only thought with your tint is what the light outputs like?
Also you can get the aerial rubber for about £5 from ebay :thumb

I used spray tint, I did do them a few weeks back but I got them so dark I couldn't see no light so removed it all and now just done the indicators and reverse light, the output seems good still can see the flashing of indicators and reverse light seem happy with them, so with headlights how so I peel the glass off the seal or is it just only held on by the clips, also any other tips I need to remove and replace the glass, thanks

Heat the seals up around the lenses first, especially this time of year. Hairdryer, or oven, don't use a heatgun or microwave though. Overkill. Gently but firmly pry the lens off each headlamp an inch at a time, working your way around. If you push too hard, you will break the plastic housing of the headlamp. Keep working around until the lens pops off. Could always use silicone to repair the seal if it is torn when removing the lens.

Asking me about lowering cars is a bit like asking Jeremy Clarkson to restrict his AMG Merc to 69mph... Way I see it is, if you can't get it over speed bumps and dropped kerbs into driveways, then don't bother. I'm more of a go-over-it than a go-around-it kind of guy.

Yes your a Sunday driver probably get in every ones way. It's amazing how people like the cav in different ways, for me it's handling and performance and they look stunning lowered. Especially the Sri gsi turbo cars which is what interests me
You seem to like them standard for what ever reasons, to me they look boring and remind me of a taxi
