Intake and Wheels

I Never put pics on here but decided I need a change, Just put together a replacement Air Intake and thought I'd get your coments. Yes In the pic the BOV is standard but I have a Bailey Dump Valve (atmospheric) in the post

Also just Refurbed a set of Super Advans and powder coated the centres white, What do you think of them? first time refurbing wheels and never again, days of rubbing and effort!

By the way wheel are 17 inch by 8, and tyre is 215 35 R17, once the spring and damper setup is done it will look the part.

Well they are 17 inch, they look small with the ultra low profile rubber.

I wouldn't want to go bigger than 17inch to much unsprung weight, and like the extra cornering stiffnes low profiles give.

The idea is to get coil-overs and get that gap sorted by lowering the ride height, at the moment it looks a bit stupid. But coil-overs cost and am in the process of fitting a new engine. I'm a student and part time semi driver, so money and time is slim.

What do you guys think about the Intake?
I'm after one of them Attain Light Covers to let in more outside air, anyone know what the workmanship is like on them?

Those headlight covers are useless. Spend the money on something else.
