do it man! how hard can it really be! get a cheap polishing kit off t bay n some nitromors and your off ! the gti rims would be quite good to do as they quite flat ! if you mess it up no biggie! just repaint it!

crystal = chav

go OEM (which on my wings are a smoked)

or failing that just darkened ones, like boneybradley has on his

goddam! again!!  :laugh:


lol sh!t, sorry about that, but i have always said, i think your car is the only one i have seen that pulls of the crystal light thing...i dont know why it works on yours but it does, and i really aint a fan of them as you well know, but i dont think anything else would work for you like the set up your running, so all is good, genuinly mean that, you know me by now i just say it how it is :wink: :cool:

dude... only just seen this... i know, i was only pulling your leg as I knew you thought that about mine... it's all gravy  :grin:
