Mustangs New Wheels :D

Hey All,

I know this is a SEAT forum... but as this is generally wheel based.. I thought it was worth putting up here

Over the last weekend I DIY'd the customisation of my 17" Bullitt rims

Mustang with standard GT wheels to sit on while the Bullits are worked on.




Cleaned & ready




800 wet'n'dry rubbed down (lots of prep work was done)




Masked Rear

Front lips were masked incase of overspray, but no pic, so on with the rear sprayed




Front Masked




Front Sprayed




Masking Removed (Blurry - Sorry!)




Lacquer




Centre Caps (Badgeless)




All wheels done, waiting till next weekend for balancing/alignment




What they will look like with centre caps




Oh.. and there was a subtle addition to the lacquer...difficult to see but best I could do on iphone...




So 9hrs on Saturday, and 2 hours Sunday morning...

Wheels with my Pony design decal to replace Ford badge...




Idea of Wheels on car vs how they were before






Will finalise thread with pics at the weekend of wheels fitted, & tyres are cleaned....photsohop makes them look smaller, I hope this is my p.shop skills..and not related to the colour balance....will find out Sat



Mike

Wheels fitted Saturday



Need some tyre shine, but WELL chuffed as the cheaper option

Cheers for comments guys, I love em... I liked them before but it needed something different. Don't think chrome would of suited it to be honest....plus not a fan of chrome myself lol

Cheers Pat

Spacers fitted few weeks back, sits much nicer




At a show





Little Hatfield Tunnel Vid too - within speed limit!

Cheers buddy

Yeah all good - Boost gauge in, AUX IN now fitted (plugs into CD changer)

Cheers

I agree mate, stood out more when they were silver. Still an unreal car though!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, as is the way of modification

It is awesome if I may say so... lol


This was the Manchester tunnels, the Mrs is driving so not quite as good

Sorry but they looked better silver IMO, should get them chrome powdercoated

Proper retro american style
Lovely car though
