Thanks for that mate. Think I will have a look on ebay for the trim removal tool, don't want to be breaking anything:cry:
Your car looks stunning mate, keep up the good work.:worship:

I'm becoming impatient myself :p

Camskill have done me over really, I ordered my new tyres on the 20th of this month and they said they would be here the next day.. but they never arrived and they closed until the new year on the 21st! So the earliest I can get them is 3rd Jan :( I can't complain though I have got goodyear asymmetric 2's for £92 each! :funk:

Few teasers

Cheers mate :)

These are the ones I have, they might seem expensive but they come in very handy!

As X says, 18's mate, 5x112 fitment and 66.6 centre bore I believe. ET 45.

I have just bought some 10mm spacers for the rear wheels to fill out the arches, and I am just waiting on the new rubber arriving :D

Sorry, didn't see your post matey. 8j all round because I couldn't be bothered messing around with different size tyres, so bought the spacers to kind of create the same look :)

Picked up my Wheels early, they look the dogs. The best £60 I have spent in my life.

The new rubber arrived today too so I will be at the garage early tomorrow to get them fitted, I can't wait!

Just give them 3 coats of Blackfire all metal sealant ( which I regard the best sealantout there, even ahead of G techniq c5 ) and no they look even better and bead water like no tomorrow. The mother was fuming I used the table though :lol:

Sorry for the crap quality pics, the wheels look much better in the flesh but hey ho.

At long last....

I am so happy with them, I never thought they would look this good, in my opinion of course :) The car looks mean now :D

Also I bought some TPI aluminium spriggot rings too as I didn't fancy some plastic ones :blink:

Plus some 15mm spacers for the rear. I think these might be too big but my mate had no need for them so has let me try them. I will get them on tomorrow :)

Thanks man ;)

Looks very nice mate.
Suits the white really well.

Cheers kev, I'm glad I went with the anthracite, too may white and black cars these days :p

LOVE this!!

I love how the splitter isn't so defined too.

Yeah the splitter just finishes the front off nicely, its going into the bodyshop on wednesday for it to be sprayed gloss black, because it is just the black plastic finish at the moment :)

I want your car. Please? lol

Like I have said, when I win the lottery I will personally drive it up to you, then drive home in my Mclaren mp4-12c :cartman:

Notice anything different?

Yup, I removed the side stripes today as they were getting a little bit tatty and had developed a few bubbles. I'm unsure whether to replace them with the same again or go with a different design, or simply don't replace them !

Thoughts?
