Decided to do something with my wheels today as they are letting the car down.  They have been painted countless times by the previous owner so I wasn't going to strip them back as it would take forever.  So I went down to halfrauds and got some paint.

Before:


After:







Much better me thinks!  New wheels soon hopefully!

That one sheared off as I was tightening them up, I need a whole new set but they are strange bolts and really long.    :undecided:

have done a few things to the car, but not much!  I finally fitted a bigger spoiler I had knocking around for ages.. I feel like a right badass. :grin:





And I also carpeted the sub enclosure (the boot needs a clean :lipsrsealed:)

Basically the wheels on the car are hanging and need blasting and eventually swapping for A's or schmidts.  I was at my gf's aunties bbq on saturday and I noticed a set of alloys tucked away under a bush in the garden.  Asked what they were from and they were off a renault 5 turbo....  4x100, just a bigger bore which will need spigot rings. Now these wheels are the kind you wouldn't put anywhere near a mk2 but I think they look pretty good!  Gunna put my Yoko's on and run them for a bit I reckon, dirt cheap too!  :wink:







Opinions please!!

I think that may be down to them actually being silver and not grey and crap. :grin:
