Smile New wheels

After months of looking I finally picked up a set of wheels for my car yesterday

I know they aren't to everyones taste but I got these

When I got home I decided it'd be a good idea to give them a nice clean



This then turned into a t-cut and polish before fitting them

I know I can always paint them though I like them and the Mrs does too and she doesn't like gold wheels at all.

Paul, as I said earlier, those wheels look better on your Legacy than on any impreza

Very nice mate. I quite like those alloys. They look really cool.



Have you thought about getting it all colour coded?
De'tango?
Rear tints?
Big front spots?
a slightly bigger scoop and maybe some vents and P1 front bumper...aka Andy's Legacy estate (that was)?
Flaps?

Thanks

I was thinking the other day about colour coding the sills. On a legacy the mirrors and door handles are already body coloured so it doesn't leave much to do
Detango is being looked into this involves heating up the front indicators and spliting them to remove the orange part, older rear lights are clear but I might see if I can just remove the orange lense from inside by breaking it up.
Don't do tints myself
don't do spot lights (not sure that it'd work on a Legacy)
I like the smaller stealthy scoop on the Legacy. The scoop doesn't actually much on a Legacy because they are charge cooled so it'd only be for looks.
Flaps, been there on my Lancia and liking the clean look

2 of the tyres have been rolled over a little but don't look that bad really

The car looks black in photos but it's really dark metallic blue Trust me it is It's a standing joke now

You can get bigger spoilers but they often spoil them There aren't any decent ones about. No idea about splitters.
