not genuine Monzas unfortunately but they are very good reps.

If you have a look in my project section you'll see all the pics of what they were like before but here's one as an example

TBH it's not too bad mate, not cost me anything either as all the bits are from work. I found some 2000 grit aquabuff today which is how they came up so good in that pic. Gonna take it back down to 1000 2moro though and make sure all the blemishes are gone.

Hopefully got some VW centre caps turning up 2moro as well  :smiley:

I'll just be happy if they are ready for the summer as they won't last long in the winter environment even after I lacquer them  :sad:
