I've not seen it could look sweet though but then it may not ahaha only one way to find out

[rally515]

There was a Yellow Metro feature I saw, it had some 12" Revolutions on, which gave the apperance of a small rim becaus of the colour I think, looked prett good, i'l see if I can find a picture somewere of it.

[creakyjaws5533]

The 12" rims do look good specially in revos I think 10s could look too small if I had my jack at home I would put my 10" steelies on the back to see what it sat like.

I asked the question before about 10" wheels on the metro, i'll see if i can dig up the thread. Obviously theres the same work involved with the 10" disc conversion, but i really think it's a good look

You do however have to slam it or the arch gap (or cave i should say) is enormous.

Gimme 5 mo's and i'll find it

Ahh ofcourse how could I forget being the first poster!  , think i'l mock those Cosmics up proper tomorrow if the weahers decent, see what kinda clearence issues I run into on lock  , wouldn't mind having to convert the braking system up front, I don't like that big ugle servo thats rusting my bulkhead anyway

[Ben_O]

Couple of rough unfinished ones that i have worked on between other stuff.

 

Ill have a better go tomorrow

Wow Ben!, some impressive stuff!!  , even swaped my house over in the last one    .

 

Is it strange and abit chavvy of me that I really quite like the bodykit one ?  . Definatly think the Mk1 lights might be a good idea, i'd hazard a guess as to them being a straight swap

[Ben_O]

The first one has mk1 fiesta bumper, lights, valance and bonnet front edge. The grille is fiesta with the chrome frame from the metro extended to fit round it.

 

The second one is a bodykit from a mk1 fiesta

 

And the last one is banded steelies and mk1 front

[rally515]

Definatly got me thinking about arches and bigger wheels, the rolled out Jap Style arches seem to look good bu tnot too sure what'll suit this.

[bigrob]

That one you've done with the arches looks pretty awesome. Kinda semi-6r4

Yeah Exactly what I thought, it'd probably need 15" to pull the look off though.

 

The First one with the round Headlights looks like one of those american AMC Hatchbacks from the 80's or whenever it was made

Quite like the 1st one.

Looks a bit like a 1st Gen Civic
