i pitty the fool that drives this  :lipsrsealed:

i actually like the pinstripes.

if it were mine i would get some vw centre caps, maybe try red grill slats with a black vw badge, remove rear spolier, change rear lights for cl or gti's, orange repeaters and front indicators.

Pinstripes are very 80's but work well with the theme of the car.

Very nice indeed Stainsey! I love the pinstriping down the flanks but I'm not sure about the grille, I think a nice OEM grill with black badge would look loads better.
I do like the side stripes tho, very much.

You don't see many cars with stripes on the sides like that, works well on a black car.

Sorry dude hat to be honest but I don't like the stripes

You should paint your wheel centres red (spokes) and then do the lips black and all the bolts red.

I think then the stripes will suit the car.

That is an awsum idea tweed and would look the mutts nutts.
I realy like my polished lip tho but u realy got me thinking about doing centres red with red bolds and polished lip.
The polished lip ties in with crystal indicator/fog lights and clear rear.

cheers.
they are lenso bsx.
they are not actuly 3 piece wheels they just look it.
thats why its not as simple as taking them apart and painting the centres.
would have to mask up around loads of bolts and round the lip to paint them. be a right pain in the ars

The bolts come out  :wink: push them out from behind. easy to mask the wheels and easy to paint the bolts.

Think it would look better with polished lips looking at it more :afro:

the bolts come out on lenso?
i thought they was moulded to the wheels or something. how do i get them without damaging them?

Pretty sure they are plastic chromed and push out from the back of the wheel.
If not get a rag, pliers and pull and twist them out.
