...but I love this car so much now. The original 'Grale Evo 2 wheels now refurb'd in smoke chrome anthracite are on it...and just look at it!

Considering I bought it nie on totally stock and have done all of this myself (with the help of businesses obviously) I just think the 'Grale wheels have finished it off perfectly.!

Agh! Beautiful car!

Comments welcome!

Best Coupe I've seen, in my opinion.

Looks and sounds epic. Should really have kept hold of it, although there was nowhere to park it and I was scared of it costing me another £4k this year!!

Really does look nice though, nowhere near as old as it is. Well done Diddy, top job.

Perhaps I'll buy it back off you one day when I've got the Elise thing out of my system!

I think they're the first 'aftermarket' wheels I've seen that actually suit it. Personally, I haven't seen any others. Wasn't a fan of the Speedlines.

Top job!

I should really get rid of the avatar with your car on it Didcoupe, although it does now look v.different...

I love the style of the wheels, but they still look small to me - are they 16"?

They are 16's yep. Why go for larger? The Coupe comes with 16s so I like to leave size alone.

thats sexual
the wheels looks great on it...

only thing is the red caps... if you got caps to match the colour of the wheel it would be sweet.

But seriously nice car mate! look forward to seeing it one day... thats if the car like yourself actually exists. wink

Thanks guys. I quite like the caps Mario personally but as we all know each to their own.

I do love it!

Very nice, and I like the wheels a lot! Could maybe do with being lowered slightly though?

I can't lower it any more. It's down -35mm as it is and the downpipe would scrape as its 3". I think it's fine as it is height wise anyway.

I remember seeing this at ace cafe last time I was down there, didn't think the le lips were flushed then?

Kinda like the grale wheels too, and no messing
about with wobblies, but do they need spacers?

Only thing I'd change is the grille, otherwise love it - sounds as good as it looks too...

The wheels look great, the first time ive actually liked the look of non-standard wheels on the coop...keeping the italian genes has worked out well.

16vt so it doesn't need spacers but to fit a 20vt they definitely would and no wobbly bolts.

Yep I'm thinking of the Zender DS grill, undecided.

I didn't have the LE kit then nor was it lowered Will so it's come quite a way but cheers bud smile

I agree. the wheels look an inch too small for me. Other than that the car and wheels are stunning!

The wheels are not to my taste bit the car looks excellent!! I think the wheels & standard grille echo one another very well though.

Paint, flushed lips & exhaust = love love

What a fantastic looking Coop!

Definitely in my top ten favourite Coops of all time.

That colour is so intense and mesmerising. I love how your Coop has an aggressive 'tuner car' feel to it whilst at the same time keeping the classic Coupe design. love
