Thanks boys,
Yes they are 7" superlites,
Probably no stripes, it had the Mexico stripes on when I bought it but i took them off, I have a set of the RS2000 pinstripes for it but I think I prefer it just plain.
Will have to do a bit of photoshopping and see.

That looks sweet. I love Mk2s in red anyway and the 7" really set it off nicely. Your earlier pictures of the front suspension and brakes make mine look a little crusty. Insiration for when I get to the brakes on mine though. I'm going to have to bit the bullet and get a spring compressor so I can take the struts off to get at everything properly I reckon...more time on the job.

I was thinking of putting a set of 7 inch superlites on my sport Any one want to swap for a set of genuine RS alloys

Well did a few more bits the last couple of weeks, fitted new water pump and alternator, fixed a couple of minor niggles etc.
Went for the dreaded MoT tonight thinking at least I'll know what else needs doing, and.... it passed no problems
Well chuffed with that!

What size tyres have you fitted ?

What size tyres have you fitted ?

They are 175/50 13s, they were on it when I got the car. I would prefer wider ones, never been a great fan of the roller skate look but there's plenty of tread left yet so they'll have to do.

That looks superb and is a credit to you Sir
