Paint job looks awesome... I like the colour of your wheels, maybe go for purple next time!

 

[turbo009]

Looks mint mate,the wheels look nice in that colour

Love the LCR's in white. They so should had done it as one of the colours. Looking good fella. Wheels wouldnt be my choice but looking forward to it all being finished to see how it looks!

 

[jake]

i can change the wheel coulor in a couple of hours, who knows might change it every month haha

black would be sensible, but is over done, i dont know

 

[CHRI55]

that LCR is looking awsome but IMO would look awsome with standard/dark coloured rims with black calipers and white decals on the claipers cupled with drilled disks would set it off a treat!!!!!

p.s what type of paint are u using to do your wheels, or is it just powder coating?? thanks

 

[Shaunyboy]

As far as i know Jake just uses waterbased paint.

Looking good jakey boy, jus not won over by the wheels

 

[jake]

were on water based paints that is correct. dupont.

i know every body hates the wheels haha

Was thinking the darker the wheels the better the white calipers will also look behind them almost shining through , but like you said need to see them outside to see how they look in the light . smashing job so far tho

 

[jake]

there was a small piece of something in it, so pulled it out, before anoter coat went ontop, easire to do while its still when, me just being picky haha

hi jake
i love the white paint (im a paintsprayer by trade) and it looks a quality finish..i know what a PITA a colour change is...

i may get shot down in flames for this, but the wheels dont do the LCRs good looks any favours and the white calipers are a little too subtle...the famous red brembo calipers set the car off perfectly....

if you wanted to do something original why not do a front end similar to the beeza bocenegra or new range of renaults at the moment....

i would love my car in white (black mirrors, wheels) for aggression, but that look (apparantly has been done to death) which is rubbish cos ive never seen 1 LCR on the road, seen maybe 5 in piccys......

but bright silver wheels and bright red calipers also will set the car off too...

 

[jake]

well the wheels are currently baking again in the booth haha pics after

 

[EmDee]

*crosses fingers*

be white be white be white pleeease be white...

 

[tarzan]

well the wheels are currently baking again in the booth haha pics after

no was a nice race look with those rims

 

[ScottHmk4]

loving these videos, cant wait to see it all built back up with the rims on

 

[jake]

well just finished, still at work actually,

got knowhere near done what i wanted to do today, after todays shinaigans. got the boot painted, changed the wheel colour and fitted them,

pics:

then masked it up, as seen above ready to start buffing, set my camera up to record the procedure then as im upstairs, this happens!

so then this happens!

turns out, the lad who i swapped the car with originally, sold the passat and bought a stage two leon cupra, with cupra r front bumper and fancied a swap, well he turned up today a 2pm, saw my black wheels and said deals on haha

this it sets the car off a treat

[cupra.al]

[jake]

i have the 10mm spacers from the rear on the front, what im going to do is to put the 10's on the back then use a 5mm upfront, i even got the locking nuts with them haha
