Get them suckers polished!
Or Polished lip and bright Blue, Pink, Yellow, Green, Centres!!!!
I'm in two minds to do that to the dials, but now they are all polished I can't bring myself to do it!
White looks pretty hot too mind!

wet and dry paper.plus green oxide to take first lot off...sugar soap also....and if they are to be done properly you should really use an etch primer first

Strip the laquer with nitromorse and give them a polish and they will probably look good enough for now ;)

I think that you should do the centres of the wheels white. And either polish the lip or leave it as it already is. Would look good I think.

I know what you mean about the dents. I think that will be the next thing getting fixed on mine.

That is a good idea my man, will try photoshop that tonight.

yeah I think the dents are the one thing that give the car an unfinished look :/

Yep same. I want to get the dents on mine sorted as I think Im going to keep the car for alittle longer yet.

Thinking of an engine conversion. :whistle: The thought gets more and more after reading Martin and Roly's threads. :blink:
