it's luxury compared to the clio mate, your right they're a lot of car for the cash, paid £2400 for it :) it goes well, not really tested the handling yet but dont expect it to stick aswell as the clio did.
tbh the clio wont see many more years, and this thing is much safer!
some of you may remember my old clio, well here's the replacement :)

When i took the 17's off my old 1.4 RT, i put the standard steelies on while i refurbed my other wheels.
It was definately much quicker to 70-80 as it would just pull past my mates 1.4 mg zr, where as with the 17s it was no where near :) i decided to go for 16s after that.
how wide are the wheels mate? u gonna stretch some tyres over them?
get a metal polishing kit from halfords/machine mart and attach it to a drill, it'll fetch the shine right up on those dishes.
will look smart ;)
Thanks for the great response as usual :)

glad to here your ok though pal, could have been much worse i suppose..
Standard lights look much better, christ lexus lights are terrible :dead:
