Scrappy any 4 stud vaux alloys will fit,
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Nice set of corsa sxi's would suit yours or the vectra star alloys but there hard to come by in 4 stud

Why did you go for black instead of blue? Looks good :)

Rust at rear wiper looks quite bad :/

For some reason I liked the look of the older black bumpers then the more up to date blue ones, I'll be off to find a sanding block and some rust off soon poor car hahahahaha

Spoiler will make such a difference to look :)

Car doesnt look that bad with the silver steelies tbh, think it because of black bumpers tho

Is all the rist just surface or has rot set in? Door looks like rot

I've had a good old poke and prod on the door, luckily enough it hasn't gone though yet I'll have it sorted by the weekend :)
It will be nice to get the spoiler done I've waited ages for one :lol:
