Has it made any difference?

Yep went for a quick spin round the block and got the traction control kicking in a few times, it feels a lot better but then the mats about an inch thick so getting quite a lot more travel in the pedal so I was maybe only getting 70-80% of the full throttle before so really happy bunny :-)

Don't worry it gets looked after, will be gteeing cleaned, tcut and polished next week when I'm off so I'll put some 'clean' photos up next week.

Just need to get some wind deflectors & then maybe a remap & it will be just how I want it.....

What wheels are those on it, are they 17's? Look nice, would suit my T4 I reckon

They're inovit 18's the chrome lip is quite big so it give the illusion of the wheels being smaller....

Well after getting the 2nd hand alloys and loving the way they looked, I've had issues with vibrations at speed, que £24 to get them balanced £65 as one was buckled, back on the car at the weekend and vibration problem still there, swapped the fronts with the girlfriends wheels and issue gone so it looks like another wheel is buckled/damaged (vibration appeared on girlfriends car with the 2nd hand wheel fitted). So after 2 weeks of trying to sort i'm fed up with them, not to mention the seller forgot to mention that all 4 tyres were badly worn on the inside edge (to the point where 2 are alomist illegal now!!)going to return the wheels and get a refund, and after being ripped off on egay I think the safest thing is to get some new wheels I've narrowed it down to the following





I also like this but they are inovit and the 2nd hand wheels are inovit and the wheel repairer mentioned the wheels were quite soft and easier than normal to repair/reshape, so I'm dubious of the quality



I'm leaning towards the white ones or the one with the 'rainbow' rim just after some opinions....

here's the car at the mo

Hmmm, I would personally NEVER put white wheels on a car, they look great but you'll be cleaning them obsessively to keep them looking good. I would go for the silver looking Fox wheels out of that choise, just my personal opinion

Also IMO I would drop it all round a few mm's too

Car looks good btw
