Re: cool!!!!!
Couldn't tell you the size of the wheels, but they look like 18's to me. Either way they're dished to go with the wide arch kit fitted. It's also had the central turret removed from the spoiler

If you look at the spoiler its been modified paypal mod or some name simular there is a thread on one of the web sites on how to do it im in the middle of doing it myself if you look it mounts differently on onle two bolts and the others are wilded up the centre brace is chopped off you reposition the spoiler one hole back and chop the edge of the spoiler off fill the spoiler with foam and fibre glass /filler it into shape then paint

The 'papaL' mod is to do with the bonnet being cut, not the rear spoiler. My mk1 has the centre strut taken out too.
The mod cabby dave is describing is called the 'plumly' mod where the rear spoiler is cut and mounted further back on the bootlid.
Oh and the lights are standard issue supercharger jobbies.

16X8 I'd guess at!
If you can't see the angle, you're in trouble.
