Re: Alloys ?
Yeah its brilliant lookswise...ride has stiffened ever so slightly but its nothing im complaining about and trust me im fussy with ride quality lol
In the picture it had only been lowered for a day or two...rear springs have settled and have gone a bit lower than the pic shows
They low from the front anyway and in my opinion 20mm would have been better for the front instead of 25 but oh well its all good
Thanks for the compliments

Re: Alloys ?
I got them pretty much at the same time as when the new fabia vrs came out
I paid about £400 just the wheels
but a birdy tells me theyre not too expensive at the dealers...about £120 a wheel i heard
