I like that. My roof is boring in comparison.

(Runs off to get quotes from local sign shops for a fake carbon wrap :-)

roof rack. gg

but its not a 1950s style roof rack with a radio and a cool box on it.

Its probably for taking his snowboard to the rockies, oh yeah.

Looks good apart from the cheap exhaust that seems to stick out too far?

Can I ask
:

What are those alloys? they look great. Also I like those mirrors BUT I don't like how the holder is also body coloured. on my car they are piano black and glossy just like the window framing which looks "much" slicker than body coloured or chrome frames/surrounds.

I like those wheels and the black roof looks top...!

Those wheels are fake BBS LM's.

mrk · 30 Oct 2008 at 16:04

Pros/cons for fake BBS wheels?

Wayn0r · 30 Oct 2008 at 16:07

cons: fake
pros: cheap?
cons: bendy!
pros: cheap?

Fake wheels are for people who spend their time driving round 30 zones showing off tbh. If you enjoy driving like a boob (like me), I wouldn't risk a wheel collapsing. An aquaintance of mine is currently in hospital with a smashed pelvis and arm thanks to a wheel collapsing and a lamp post.

At what speed was he driving while the wheel collapsed to send him into a lamp post hard enough to smash his pelvis?

Dup · 30 Oct 2008 at 16:45

Less than on a 60mph road so I heard. He was driving a 106 GTi so not the most robust of vehicles and the road was slippy.

mrk · 30 Oct 2008 at 16:51

Ah I see, I wasn’t interested in fake ones so to speak just interested in why they are so cheap!

This thread needs an "isiiiiit"

Morba: Time to live in Bristol all chav'd up. Looks nice but not sold on the roof unless its carbon. Scoot past the old work bar tomorrow if you get a chance, Kev's leaving drinks.....

Like i've always said it depends who's made the replica wheel, those made in Italy are of high quality and are pressure cast just like the OEM wheels, i agree however other replica wheels arn't very good / strong.
