I will take some close ups of the wheels tomorrow if anyone's interested. For anyone looking for a wheel refurb near lincolnshire then I've got to recommend wheelcraftuk.net in heckington. John has done all the wheels on every car I've owned and I can't fault his work. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for

You do realise silver is officially the fastest Mk1 colour?

Ha ha is that so? Well Even though the car is standard I've got a huge hit list already- don't think anyone knows what it is

MPS looks good lad. Very clean and glad it got sorted.
Though I will place a bet on how long it is before you go after more power as many of us have been exactly the same

I got £150 off the asking price when I picked the car up due to it taking them ages to prep it- two weeks! And for the wheels. I then got a further £100 back once I realised just how bad they were in the day light so not a bad deal really.
Thanks- started off as a bit of a diamond in the rough but it's slowly getting there

And I def won't go for more power I can promise that lol. The 400whp celice gt4 will always be the car I shouldn't have sold- this car is a family car and with a new borne, wedding and moving house all in the next three months, funds are tight for the car.
I also don't feel a front wheel drive can handle/use much more power than around 300 even with the 3's being as good as they are. I don't want to loose driveablity.
