Dead on, just thought I'd ask in case you hadn't seen the thread.

I'd say it'll be on a Sunday night some time in the near future, maybe at Sprucefield.

I'll keep an eye on it anyways and see, doubt I could if it's before mid may tho exams and all that.. prob why it's taking so long with the wheels too.

Tyres back on the wheels, no air in them yet. No point till I get them painted up.

Gona try to resist puttin them on till I have the alloys sorted and MOT has been passed (fingers crossed) in a month. Then I have another mod to go, hopefully, when that's all done.

Alloys look amazing mate :)

I have an issue with mine though, first one turned out absoluetly amazing, no problems, the second one i sanded thoroughly, primed smooth and sanded but the colour coat has got strange cracks on two of the spokes, sanded down and retried and the same marks have returned in the same place!

Only thing that i can think of is that the garage was too cold when spraying but seems funny it is the same place both times

I'm by no means an expert, so I'm not sure dude.

If it's in the exact same place, I doubt it'll be the temp, did you sand that part to bare metal?
