I used to really dislike metros, but as I've got older I've developed a fondness for this shape, theres a gold one round by me I'd love to get my hands on.
Did you literally cut off the centre of the wheels and flip and weld back?

Loving this, I had a later Rover 100 and I hated it (although it did pull great handbrake turns) but the older versions like this one are cool. Would love one like this with a hot A-series or K-series engine in it, proper little sleeper.
Wheels look great, and must be much cheaper than banding!

That looks superb  From a time when small cars were small, neat and simple, not the bloated complicated monsters they are nowadays. |

That really does look superb, definitely a shining example of the less is more approach.

That looks brilliant, I've seen a few other cars with flipped wheels and it's such a relatively simple modification and yet it makes a massive improvement. Personally I'd be looking for slimmer side indicators though, those standard ones really were a design afterthought lol
