Very nice. Pity they used a black car in bright sunlight for the photos.....it's pretty difficult to see the styling changes, limited as they are.

Wheels are a bit bling, too. Would look better without being full chrome.

Can't argue with the boost in performance though

They charge far too much for a simple stage 1 tune.

The rear tyres look far too wide and the wheels are far too fussy IMO.

Certainly from that angle, it does look like the tyre sits proud of the wheelarch. That's a big no-no, isn't it?

I'm not sure it does as it's the top of the lip that counts. The angle may be unflattering but the rear tyres don't look wide enough for the wheel. Also the German TUV controls all modifications strictly so it's impossible to do it wrong. I'm pretty sure that the German regs were the reason for the Euro Corvette C5 having a half inch narrower track (or less offset front or rear, can't recall which) than the US version to comply with their strict rules.

We ran an article on that a couple of months back in ACW.
The front airdam has a larger lip, and those wheels are pretty much the only exterior mods.
I'm not a fan of those wheels. But I'm sure it's a whole heap of fun to drive!
