Whats peoples thoughts? - I need to do a bit of spraying and the stip has to come off to do it so would have to replace them all round...

Keep em, it's a cool thing on the small bumpered cars especially on white. You can get new ones off a guy on eBay.

cheers..hopefully the new wheels will compliment the rest of the car - even though it looks a bit of a mess at the moment :(

Keep! They look great when the cars all clean and the trim's all blacked.

I'd keep them but replace the side repeaters with white ones, looks too busy when they're orange.

I plan to replace the side repeaters and front indicators with clear ones once the rest of the car is up to some kind of ok standard...at the moment its just a horrible mess!!

Just be sure and take your time if you do whip em off! Anne(pinkwitch)`s git has some partially removed ones and we are gonna replace them as it seems easiest. Also a nice period feature
