Re: Wheel sizes?
Here's mine on Style 32s from an E46 (3 series). 18 x 8 fronts on 225 tyres, 18 x 8.5 rears on 255 tyres - also on Eibach lowering springs. Handles very well, car mostly used on track. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180516/7daa60902e24e5d613a7f8894f263eea.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...

For headlights, front / rear bumpers and bootlid, assuming no rust... £350 - £400? Difficult as you haven't priced anything. The only thing I know the true value is the lights. Where are you based?

It's all about tyre choice re the tramlining. I ran 18" 8.5s all round and had terrible tramlining problems, then switched from 235 to 225 on the front and hey presto, no more tramlining. Managed a fairly meaty 255 on the rear too and got some great traction.
