looks good, seriously needs dropping

re the rims, i got the gunmental with diamoned turned faces, iv given them 2 coats of jetseal and 3 coats of wax, i also sanded down the rear of the caps (bits u dont see) as their was slight corrosion, then painted them using hammerite, if left they would have eventually corroded and spread round to the front under the paint, check yours :wink:

Not bad, 4 pages to get that comment  :smiley: It's not going to be dropped atm.  If it gets round to needing the suspension replacing it'll be done.  I've had coilovers in the past, and the Meg is so stiff, I don't want to go that route yet.

Rims are mint, caps are mint, all will be sealed/waxed in the next month or so  :cool:

what i mean about the caps is the rear of them, i bet you a quid theirs some minor corrrosion starting, i just sanded it off, it was only on 2 of my caps, then i painted them so it will never happen, really bad design by bbs leaving the rear of the caps untreated

I'll take that quid - even the threads are still black  :smiley:  They'll be getting attention though, last thing I want is to not be able to get them off.
