well this week, all of those plans have been set into motion and mostly completed!
i got my BBS wheels back looking rather better than the last time i saw them!
and now some shots of them on the car!
that one shows my new exhaust aswell!! hmmmmm shiny
and the final one is a bit arty and sorta shows my new xenon filled headlight bulbs! i also have blue sidelights now aswell!
also this week, i gave the car its first ever clay and i was chuffed with the results! most of the paintwork was as smooth as glass
opinions very welcome as always

thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated!
@Josh......will 312s not go behind these wheels then? they are 7J wide instead of the current 6.5J and i was told at the time of buying that 312s 'should' go behind them.

Nope, unfortunately the caliper rubs on the inside of the wheel... Not by much, so you could probably have the calipers butchered a bit.
I very nearly bought a set of these wheels when I first had my car, but when I trial fitted one, I found this problem.
Still, they are bloody lovely

if they rub on the inside and you want 312mm just gets some 5mm spacers and longer wheel bolts

Twin exhaust is the way to go

Looks lovely, I've been considering dark paint for my BBS when I get them refurbed as I'd like them to be different to standard but I don't want to do black centres. Exhaust looks perfect for the car too! I look forward to seeing it in the flesh at the GTI festival.
