Thanks for the advice and feedback you guys gave! Im glad you like the wheels (even though they are playing up big time!), a few things though;

1)I HAVE got clear front indicators and side repeaters now following your comments and they imrpove the look no end!
2) (address to punto powa) I HAVE got an alarm on it (a microscan an424 alarm) which is soon to be upgraded to a CAT 1 alarm.
3) The car is not staying that colour, in the eand am going for either rage flip (gold/green), or a kandy colour paint (i like the lime green seen on seat ibizas)
4) In the next couple of months the suspension will be slammed 45 or 60 mm on KONI suspension!
5) I am not leaving the bodywork standard, am going for the combat kit!
6) Its not all about the exterior, inside i have;

A clarion in dash 7" motorised tft touchsreen/dvd/mp3 player
A clarion dvd changer
A 7" motorised roof mounted tft screen
A dolby 5.1 decoder
A set of £400 rocky components up front in custom doorcards
A pair of cobra clubman bucket seats with sparco 3 point harnesses
A pair of rocky 12" subs in back
A rocky amp and jbl amp
A 1 farad capacitor and a playstation 2!

Have had more troble since last post! Found out that i had over tightened two of the bolts on the rear passenger side wheel and stripped threads as a result, so th bolt was stuck in the wheel! Thought i was gonna have to get the sucker drilled out (whoch meant a new alloy too and these are only 3 weeks old!), however with the help of the old man and long nosed pliers managed to get em out.

However, put two new wobblies in and the threads knackered on these aswell, though i had knackered thread on hub, but i ran and old steel bolt through it and cleaned the gunk out of the thread, now has all 4 bolts in properley amd cant hardly feel any shaking at all! At the end of the day, NEVER attempt to fit alloy by ones self and NEVER overtighten the bolt, beleive me it is not worth the hassle! The only problem is now i need to sort out the off road look! How long does is take/cost to fit springs and dampers? Also will it affect insurance premium?

Some companies won't insure you if you lower it by more than 45mm, but it's still quite a bit extra if you lower less than that as well :s
