Thanks for comments so far... The New one is a Sigma EX 10-20mm Wide Angle, Its more for Landscapes but gives some interesting shots up close too, Otherwise using a Nikon 18-70 and my 70-300VR which works suprisingly well for Macro shots sometimes. I dont know too much about the technicalities as only just got into Photography a bit but I'm enjoying experimenting.

Tyre Shine Wise agreed, though i dont like them too Wet look... next time round

The rims are actually the VZ033's, as far as i know Phil at PW Motorsport is still doing them for a very good price (think 400+ less than CH) so might be worth a call  :happy2:

How are you finding the Falkens? When I had my VZ's I couldn't get over how shiney and silver they were!

Its an RCD510, like the RNS but without Nav and a hard drive! :happy2:

I think it has a 6CD player too unlike the RNS

Thanks everyone, great to get positive feedback, in answer to a couple of questions:

Genehunt: They look quite similar to the ED30 Alloys but are much lighter in colur and have a different offset so they stick out just a little more which in my opinion makes the stance look better.

Greenouse: I am loving the colour of them too, its funny beacuse you'd think silver is silver but they really are a lot brighter than most. Tyre wise I am finding the Falkens surprisingly good, they are definitely as grippy, if not more so than my Sport Contact 3's that i had before in both dry and wet, will be interesting to see how they wear.

MarkyMark/Willzie, you are right it is the RCD510 and it does have a 6 disc changer built in which plays MP3 discs, plus an SD card slot which at High Quality i have managed to fit 29 albums on to (2GB). With all MPS discs (around 5 albums per disc) I can carry a decent amount of music in the dash now  :happy2:

I spent the cash on the wheels and Radio following a test drive in a mk6 which i was quite close to ordering, but i decided I would save a fair bit of cash and just upgrade mine a bit, adding the bits i would have on a MK6 (also i added Cruise courtesy of VRSTU). I think it was the right decision (so does the missus  :happy2:)

Cheers,

R
