Nice, the white treatment on the wheels and mirrors sets it off really well, same colour as my SE+ I think. How has it been lowered? mine needs to sit like that.

i dont even have a car yet:oops: but thinkin about it a friend of mine had somtin similar in a corolla and it didnt cover the hole completely.
this cud be different but your right to think twice about it

Ah right :) I don't know, don't think I'll risk it tbh a I've seen a few cars try and fail with these universal gaiters. I'll figure something out. Definitely something new though.
