I had to rush this back on to the road on Wednesday as a front wheel bearing on the Arosa was on its last leg's.  So far front bumper has been repainted and badge smoothed, headlights and fogs tinted. Rest of the plastics to do to breath life back into them but needed it on the road for the time being. It drives really nice and is pretty nippy. |

If I can get it lower I will like it. In my 12 years of driving this is my first non German vehicle I've had and the first with an alarm lol |

Ive always thought these need lows and wheels wide enough to justify the arches. Other than that they're a better choice than a normal 25, better bumpers and has this got the recaros? I like it anyway.

I like it anyway. I don't think there Recaros but the seats defiantly "hug" my body lol I have a set of these mk3 astra sport steelies which I may band and paint up. Banded steels are definitely the way forward.  |

Did another mod, cost pence and didn't feel I needed to highlight it with a sticker going round it 😁  |

Having thoughts about wheels?
The ones that are on it are 16's and look tiny.
I was going to use the astra steels above but there only 15's.

15" steels and chunkies, that's the only way to go with teh "tough" body look.

If its being heavily lowered, with those plastic arches width might be more important than diameter, can I suggest  Heavily banded. |

A few early Streetwise models had factory fitted 15" x 6" steel wheels and plastic Rover (Viking ship) centre caps.
These would make a good base for banding as the centre bore would be absolutely correct for the hub.
The same steelies were also fitted to Rover 45 models too but make sure they're the 6" version, not the much more commom 5.5", if you go after a set.
