Nope your wrong. There 13's! The car is gunna be slammed.
Yes Toby, coilovers are really needed as cut springs provide a bumpy & uncomfortable ride.
But I know for a fact it'll look much better than it does now in a couple of months, rolling in FITP scrapping the floor!
If only I had the money to waste I'd invest in air suspension, you all must think I'm crazy when I say this!

What's the point in paying to have the wheels made wider then putting bigger arches on?

True. Would be better if I'd have the arches done first then the wheels but meh.

No i mean the arches will offset the wide wheels, making it look normal.
I thought the euro idea was wide wheels and standard arches?
I'd leave them personally.

Very true, and I wish I could leave them standard. But theres one problem...
THE LAW!
I've got pulled over twice for just having 7j alloys on the car with standard arches, and they said it was not aloud. Unless I just roll them. Fook knows...

Oh fair enough, I'd have them pulled slightly then I guess and only do the wheels to suit.

Re: Ford Fiesta Mk3.5' Projekt OEM+: Roof Colour/Design
LOL! I was stuck between two cars before.
Bumper can't stay on in my street. It gets vandalised, scratched, dinged. There's so many marks and imperfections on it. BIG FAIL!
RS wheels may be sold or refurbed. Buying coilovers soon...
