Well to be fair even without Fox saying it that is true isn't it?INB4 Fox comes in ranting and raving about how you replaced an F10 M5 with a "16 year old A4"
Just let the man enjoy his new car Acme.
What size wheels are those?Figured these were more appropriate here than in "What Have you Done to Your Car Today" as its complete for now.
No longer looking like a 20 year old shed

Both pairs are 15" with 195/50/15 tyres. Front pair are 7" wide ET20 Offset, rears are 6.5" wide, ET35 Offset
Think the slight slope of the drive makes the rear arch gap look bigger than it is
I have a load of Team Dynamic Pro Race wheels if you wanted a set there is a proper deal to be done. Bought them for the race car, think they are 15" could be 16" would need to double check. All have tyres too 
Frankly they are taking up space.

If they are 15" I'm definitely interested. Drop me a trust with what you have in mind
Private plate on
And I await the questions "what does it mean?", oh and yes, I park like this all the time, my neighbours have two young children and a Shogun, I give them as much room as possible (The Up! is a visitor)

Waxed by any chance?
yeah I do look funny driving it! but it's a fun car tbf.I remember a lad I used to live down the street to driving one (I think he had it for the day, can't remember why). It looked like he was in one of those electric toy cars for kids.

That reminds me,I need to fit my private plate...had it 12 months now.
Get it done, I had this ages but finally decided to do it, not going to lie it took me all of 10 minutes to assign it to the vehicle, amend my insurance and then I just hopped in another car, drove to Halfords and got them printed. Think I want a short plate on the front and lose the surrounds.

I've got the plate printed already, I just couldn't get the rear plate off before, it's stuck on REALLY well. And I have no clue how i am going to line it up level and centre...
I fitted some Eibach Sportline springs and... oddly, the ride is way less crashy and jarring than it was before. Result. It may be an Astra but it's doing a brill job as a cheap and cheerful daily which costs peanuts to run.
I'd try heat to try and make it a little looser, you may deform the old plate slightly, I'd then try fishing wire behind it.
