3dr silver 1.7 with luc luc alloys!! Nice.
Don't think its possible to lower 4 foot! Maybe 4 inches ha.
Also I thought luc lucs came on the mk2's? Not mk3?

Best appreciated when open.
I probably should have specified ladies legs in there too. [+=] "embarrarrased emoticon"[].com

Hi mate.
What part of ireland are you from.
Nice car you have.
I would have to go with theo and say those wheels are of an earlier 340
but i am often wrong.
Good luck with the car.
Cheers Mark.

Don't know if they date stamped alloys :?: Certainly with older steelies, you could tell the month and year the part was made.

Hi mate.
One of the great things about here is that somebody somewhere has the
parts that you need.
I have been to Mayo once as a child on holiday. Lovely place.
Cheers Mark.
