Looks awesome. Lovin the retro fit and the new wheels. Tint the windows. It looks good without them so maybe like a 20-30%?

per your request:

stock shocks + eibach sportline.
retrofit: tsx projectors, mercedes benz e55 theretrofitsource.com replicas, ddm PnP ballasts.
wheels: ???? 16x7 + 48 with H&R 5 mm wheel spacers all around and bbszero 20 mm hub spacers in the rear.

a couple of garson and junction produce goodies coming in for the interior. other than that, i'll probably have this car how i want it soon.

eh fvck the tease.

wheels came without centercaps and stickers, so wild guess as to what they are?

if you guess rota, you're not allowed to post in any more of my threads.

Love the TE37s, although the MINI wheels look fantastic on the xA.

That retrofit looks awesome, more pics of that?

Are you going to sticker the TEs or just leave em.

brainneeded_

they're actually le37's, like the te's but with a "lip". i'm trying to find a place that will do repro stickers for a reasonable price. i have more pix of the retrofit in my build thread here

burstaneurysm

Right right, forgot about the lip...

seen this car on vipstylecars.com a bit ago. nicely done. I think the retrofit is on my to do list. is that a black shroud on the reflector? Bought or custom? very nicely done though. I'd like to know the story behind the HID's though. thumbs up

brainneeded_

small update. coilovers, 15 mm hub spacer, stickers for the wheels, and rear trd sway bar. car is possibly done minus regular maintenance.

diggin it

thanks! i like my cars like i like my women. simple, clean, tasteful, with a couple of bolt ons. LOL

do you have any rubbing issues with the 15mm spacers and the drop? i want to do 25mm's but idk how the wheel well clearance will be. love the simplicity and cleanness btw, looks great!

brainneeded_

i went back and looked at my purchase and they're actually 20 mm spacers LOL. but my with my spacers i'm at 16x7 +22 in the rear, and yes they rub at this height. been meaning to get my rears rolled, just don't have time.

padillaXA

maybe ill just keep at 15mm then, im too lazy to go through the process of sizing everything up and having to have my tires rolled

thanx for the info
