	I've just picked up a 1996 Proton mpi, it's quite retro looking if not that old. I've been looking for some inspiration for it and a nice set of wheels. The only modified ones I've found online are these...

Here's a couple of pictures of mine...

	Lovely '80's styling! Made me think Alfa 164 from the front. Maybe two-tone like the 164 Procar?

It looks pretty much factory

	These look cool! Are these based on the 1980's Mitsubishi Magna (might have been Diamante in Japan) by any chance? They look kind of like them, and I know Protons were based on Mitsu designs up until a few years ago? See, now you've got me looking at Magnas, dammit....

	yours looks great FOAD. I've always thought these look LADA-esque or a hint of 80s Talbot saloon. Perfect for RR any way.

	Wasnt there a chappy on here a while ago that restored one of these to near concourse condition before somebody drove into him? I seem to remember it being a light colour and he had a nightmare getting a decent payout from his insurance company.

No amount of searches will reveal the location of any thread pertaining to it however. Garry that one is immense. I might have to buy some of them JDM arches and send them to our very own Ron136.

	heh, the rents used to have a purple 1.5 as a hack... damn that thing was tough, ended up going to the big scrap yard in the sky when the clutch went (wasn't all that was wrong with it by a long way, think every panel had been dented by falling kayaks and whatnot, the interior was buggered as well due to the mutts), after sitting on their drive for 6 months while they finally got round to getting someone to trailer it away, it started first time and then drove itself onto the lowloader, (with lots of lots of revs)
