just thought id show some pics of my daughters (charlie) 17th birthday present. she worked out the colour scheme and interior herself, trying to keep it pretty standard looking but with a personal touch. didnt want it lowered with sexy wheels. has an honest 1500 motor and great brakes!! (still on her L plates):-)

Ok.... well. I like the color Mate, Blue with White sides, offset nicely. Paint the rims the same color? Color matched Bumpers?? Looks great, someone is a lucky learner driver!

Don't worry about the sexy wheels, but it would look good with a bit of a hit from the lowering stick.

Nice job just the same, colour combo & interior is pretty sweet.
