Hi mate.
Leos are hard to find.
I got lucky and got mine from the great Foggy scrapage scheme.
Cheers Mark.

Lookin cool man.
It's gonna look the tits on leos an all.

Are you resizing the photos in pb before you post man?
V3m isn't auto resizing ATM, so you might be losing a bit of your pics?

This one makes it look like either a full size RC car or a dodgem with that wire tensioner coming out of the roof :wink:

Lovely tidy looking car,but i can't help thinking Leos will make the car look older than it is.?

I reckon you're right too... Leo's are hard to find and I don't think they suit Mk3's anywhere near as well as they suit Mk2's. Far better to find some 15" 400 series wheels (plenty of styles) which suit and tyres in 195/50/15 are cheaper and you're spoilt for choice!

Cheers for all the replys,

>The bloke had 7 Leo's in total, i was going to pay £60 for 5, Good deal IMO, then he said do you want the other 2? i only had £60 to spend so he gave me them for free :D

> The Ariel has got a few lols over on the other forums too, i know i should have photo shopped it out! lol

> might look older, we'll see. I'm refurbing them and they won't be going standard silver. they are powder coated white atm, well 5 of them are. I had some 15" TSW imolas thet i was going to put on but they looked too new, i don't mind making it look older. dunno if i like many of the 400 wheels

Pssssssssh.
Leos look good on anything.

It's not like you can't take them off again if you don't like them.
