Mmmmm..... Teak :) It's a pity the owner didn't do something with the bumpers though...

Still, makes a change from the OMGZGR84DRFTN or rat-look ones!

( I've never understood the rat-look thing... why would anyone spend loads of money to make a nice car look tatty? It seems to just come naturally to me :) )

Without painting wheels, it would of been rather nicely done different look, also it is not as horrible as it could be, actually I think that bumpers are really nice as they are, because if even those would be teak, it would look overdone, much better looking than most lowered ones, imo.

But, how it will ever be able to get out from that parking spot? Car at rear and at front are so close that there is no way to get out without one of them moving out first :shock:

That would make it yet another modern wannabe, but car is old, so 13" GLT rims naturally in their original silver colour and standard ride height would fit much more, imo :mrgreen:
