Looking good, weather is awful here.  :rolleyes: :cool:

How you doing the rocker? Wet and dry then autosol?

Also, do/did you find the Joey headlights any dimmer?

I can't remember what they were like on my dads.  :grin:

I started with wet & dry but decided to use my polishing mops instead & it's finished with autosol :wink:

Joeying the headlights didn't make any noticeable difference to light output.....the tint film did though :grin:

Ok, so wheels are all but done :smiley:

Only problem is i'm still waiting for paint to dry & the tyre place will be closed by the time it is :rolleyes:

So they'll be fitted tomorrow morning! A couple of pics as proof of them being finished:





They are in need of a clean & the lip polished again as 2 have been sat outside for a few weeks, but with a little bit of attention in the morning they'll be sorted :cool:

Ok, so wheels are on! I needed 2 new tyres and wanted either Uniroyal Rainsport 2's or Toyo Proxies but they had neither in stock so had to get some Falkens :undecided:

Anyway, 2 new tyres, 2 tyres swapped over, all 4 balanced & filled with nitrogen and 2 wheel laser alignment done and my wallet is £120 lighter :cry:

I'm not 100% sure about the wheels tbh, i've already lost one BBS centre cap somewhere so currently have 3 BBS and 1 VW :rolleyes:

They are also in desperate need of spacers, anyway i'll let the pics do the rest of the talking:





And one to highlight the need for spacers:



Thoughts???

Looks good. But as you have already mentioned, needs spacers.

Then it'll be all good.

This. Wheels are sweet and will look loads better when spaced out :afro:

Spacers first then all comments will be worthy, till then we will just never know. They don't look too bad though, but without spacers i still really can't comment.
