Cheers everyone, I've noticed the car turns a lot more heads now, so I'm more than happy

Thanks! It turns out the bolt size required was 2mm larger in diameter than what I had used on the cabrio. Luckily my rims had holes big enough to accommodate the larger sized bolts, so once they arrived, popping the rims on was no problem

I always thought nothing would look better than a black cabrio on black rims, but now they are on my R56, I'm like woowww everytime I see it! The contrast of white and black works soo well imo, and not only does it look better than my cabrio, it feels a lot more go-karty to drive too

Cheers mate The mod list at the moment consists of:

1) Search Ebay day and night to find headlights without the orange indicator bits
2) Sort out some vinyls
3) Lower it! .... As much as I love the ride at the moment... I have to agree with Laura and Jacked Up... I think it needs lowering
4) An induction kit would be cool, but at the moment with me running it in there isn't much point to having one atm.
5,6,7...) Who knows..

Here are a couple more pics.... Taking these shots low down, on a farmyard perhaps wasn't the best idea though.. as it realllllly looks like a 4x4 and in need of lowering
