Good job!!!! Like these wheels alot. White centre caps I reckon with red stickers sounds good. Can you get different centre caps for them (smoother ones), not sure about all them little circles around the edge...  :undecided:

Thanks! I was gonna go for this type of cap which does fit these wheels :smiley:



I don't like the current caps at all to be honest.

They're gonna look Sooo much better when they're all done man! I think you should leave more of the lip polished though, there looks like there is too much centre at the moment! Keep it up :)

Yeah I've sanded down some more of the lip so just the spokes are painted like they should be. Gonna be awesome when they're finished just very time consuming :tongue: My fingers are already feeling the pain of sanding :rolleyes:

A recent picture. Sorry for the quality was taken on my Blackberry :drool:

The new wheels that I'm refurbing will finish this car off nicely and I still need to get my VR colour coded trim on the sides (It's been a busy few days)


Took this after I fitted my forum stickers to the rear windows and the tax disc holder :grin:

Today I decided to finish off my VR side trim, so I got the clear coat done and I'm just waiting for those to dry off and for new clips to arrive before putting those on! :laugh:

Decided to get the debadged grill painted as well, pretty pleased with the result though because I've been used to the grill being black for the last 9 months it looks odd to me :undecided:








Hope you like it :rolleyes:

I purchased some new center caps for the wheels last night off eBay and a circular cutting tool so I can cut a perfect circle to help mask the wheels up which should be coming some time this week hopefully, then I can actually get on with the wheels!
