Looking really nice Dave. The wheels look better now than they did before to me, maybe it was a funny angle.

Not a fan of the wheels or seat colour, but the shell looks very tidy indeed. :thumb

I'm not into the whole euro scene, I can appreciate that some like it, but I prefer 5 spokes all the way.

I do like what you have done, regardless what others say .It take skill to modify a cav without making look chavy .But the front looks almost like
vectra but that could be just me :thumb

Spot on, i dont think you need the deeper front bumper but other than that its lovely.

I thought the wheels were 18" and they really suit.
