New wing mirrors?

Can I have your old ones? 

[Mr Blue]

Well spotted. Just swapped my mirror cases over. I am keeping the colour cases as spares sorry.

 

[Lewy]

Well, where are the side profile pictures?

Nice to see you on here as well as edition buddy, car and wheels are looking great!

I'll hopefully be building mine soon. Did you just shot blast the centers and paint stripper the center rings, then spray them? I was going to go for powdercoat but tempted to just spray them instead and just get the barrels powdercoated to save some hassle.

Love the work you did to the wheels! Stunning.

[Mr Blue]

Thanks Dan. 

Scott - I had them acid dipped as they have been shot before and didnt want to unballance them too much.
Powder coat primered then painted.
You may have to machine the area where the centre caps sits as the powder will not allow the caps to sit flush. I had no option but to paint them as the metal had imperfections, something which would show with powder coating + powder coating was limited to just a few colours.

Will get some full on pics tomorrow. I'm still not 100% on them tbh!

I love them in 16's and yours look great, what is it that makes you not sure on them?

I should have maybe held out and got some 16's, we shall see though. Might have to get my boss to get the centre rings on the lathe then and shave a mm off or so if I go for powder coating. Ordered new nuts and centre caps now so it's only the actual powdercoating to get done before I can build them back up.

[Mr Blue]

Thanks Scott. Think I should have gone for a lighter shade but will get some pictures tomorrow I promise.

'The Polisher' kindly send me a brand new centre nut as I was missing 1

Also mocked up a set on a cnc in plastic. A few more tweeks and then they will be machined in billet.

[scott-o]

Is that a rapid prototype or a milling of a block of plastic? Looks great, is it half height too?

Looking forward to the proper pics, got allot of time for your car
