New wheels!

no they are the same size. some put a 215 on a 205 wheel. this may be the case with yours. gives it a slightly wider look

The tyres are the same but I swear they are about one inch wider!

I do believe the mk2's are 7.5j as opposed to mk1's being 7j, so the tyres would look wider. I'd go for 215-40's later, a better fit on the rims than the OE 205/45. ET is also a couple of mm different to make them fill the arch extensions on the mk2.

I thought they looked fuller when on the car. I am a happy bunny!

Yes, along with a couple of other things for under the bonnet to be painted.
