I can supply alot of pictures but euro isn't cheap.

Is yours an SPI or MPI sporting model?

Thanks

im not entirely sure, still learning all about them lol, well just wanted bits smoothing out, like bonnet etc, wanted to see what sort of wheels are achieveable too. thanks.

Wheel choices over this side of the pond are extremely limited i'm afraid.

You can get some 4 stud VW wheels to fit, but they require a fiar bit of work still. E.G. VW PCD is 100 so wobbly bolts are needed to make them fit out PCD 98 hubs, the center bores on VW's are 57.1 whereas ours are 58.1 so the centers would require turning out to fit, then you need to work out the offsets and accomodate with the correct spacers .

I'm not trying to make it seem as long winded, but this is all money .

My question to you now is: Is this your first car, and how old are you?

Thanks

no its not my first car and nearly 21 and been driving since 17, wheels are my biggest thing, i was looking at maybe getting standards steels and banding them but im ot really sure i dont wanna spend thousands on the wheels etc becuase and spending close to a 500 on some paint, smoothing and lowering but do want decentish wheels - i just love the look of the sei and can imagine it makig quite a nice lil euro car with some imagination. cheers

 

[Todger182]

Both sei's and cinq's look good with the euro look.

It's wheel choices here that put people off going for the look on these.

It's very hard to try and find decent euro style wheels that don't require any effort to fit other than spacers and bolts to these things.

If you want to keep to 13" then mini wheels can fit with some minor alterations. Some VW and vauxhal wheels up to 14" will fit but will require centers boring out to 58.1. Some old school BMW 14" wheels (that will include some BBS wheels) will also fit without too much faffing.

And finally the inspiration for chalky (my sei).

Thanks

keep an eye on ebay, I managed to pick these bertones up for £50! they need a polish but they look awsome on.

 

[Benjammo]

have you got a better pic of the rear lights on the blue one?

 

[F1A7 5EICEN7O]

i have cinquecento sporting alloys atm once ive lowered n everything im gonna see how they suit the car, i may be able to work them or ill resort to deep dish style etc.

 

[Todger182]

have you got a better pic of the rear lights on the blue one?

They are just lexus light split apart and the bulb covers removed, then just some colored film placed over the top.

have you got any pics of the 1st brown one's bumper? is it completely smoothed out?

 

[Todger182]

Same as this. I'm going to be doing mine in the next few days.

Thanks

[Benjammo]

cool, that looks like mine, but I've not got the bar under the number plate

 

[F1A7 5EICEN7O]

is it jus a standard bumper with the exhaust exit smoothed and relocated? cheers

 

[Benjammo]

yep, you'll have to cut the exhaust exit off the bumper first tho, its slightly rounded and would look daft if you left it there. (if you have a close look at the sporting bumper, you'll see what I mean)

 

[F1A7 5EICEN7O]

with mine i wanted to smooth the bumper completely (eg. smooth the numberplate recess out and everything, so the bumper was solid) if that makes sense??

 

[Benjammo]

it does, personally I'm not a huge fan, it looks like its got a fat lip, post 14 here:
