So if you go for the harlequin look, what colour would you do the arch trim???

All the wings, bumpers, bonnet, doors and boot would be taken off and replaced. De arched and replaced with CL trim wich would be colour coded with the panel it was one  :smiley:

Right here is my latest project i've taken on:

Bought these wheels with almost two brand new tyres on, one crappy one and one with out!

What they looked like (Rather corroded!)


Sent them off to be sand blasted £25 per wheel. Declined the option to have them primered for an extra £40. They came back primered for free!!!  :grin:

Centre caps before and after:


Here's my progress so far:


Should be on Saturday as i've taken Friday off to completed them  :cool:
