Cool, will look mint when they're done
I don't know whether to have my wheels painted or go for some different wheels.

i actually like the FR alloys, they really suit the car...end of the day it's up to you possibilities are endless

newly refurbed shoes...

sorry about the poor quality pics, my camera is getting fixed so used an old one, and it was getting dark. thanks for looking, better pics coming soon

Are they polished faces? Looks nice!

 

[NickyJam]

thanks matey

ye went for polished faces with anthracite inner rim. hopefully they'll last as polished finishes are risky, but Lepsons did a great job

lots and lots of wax will help protect the faces. if you get any stone chips tounch the laqure up otherwise youl get them bubbling up.

 

[OldSpeckledBen]

Looking good mate, i like the wheels, something different

 

[NickyJam]

cheers guys.

here's 2 more that i took with my phone a few days after it got washed

they do look better in person, maybe i could have gone darker inside...but still happy

p.s. Steve-O, did you get my private msg about the puddle lights?

 

[NickyJam]

small update...finally got the 6000k HIDs in and got my hands on some new TT pedals

all i can say is my car looks new again with all recent mods...still smiling every day


pics coming soon

nice car dude.. comin along nicely... very OEM feel about it, which I like. When u were painting ur calipers, did you take them out? how hard/easy was that?
