Title: BIT OF A CHANGE
Post by: jake on 25 May 2009, 22:20

I dont know who knows but this weekend i planned to do my wheels black, as i am really bored with them, reason being anyone who drives a chavvy, horribly done up golf has them. And i have spent alot of money on this motor so i wanted to differentiate myself!

So.............. i sprayed them. Here are the pix. Feedback would be great! :smiley:

I know there is alot of pix, but we went out today and took loads :grin: :grin:

Nice work, completely changes the look. Did you paint them yourself? if so was it difficult?
