done the best i could on ps to get them the right size but im planning on using lower profile tyres than in the pics.
this is now the plan for them. colour may be slitely diferant gold and maybe abit more chromey and shiney but you get the idea.
dont ask about the rear wheel  :grin: i give on trying to get it right.  :grin:
was looking at diferant colour fly eye aswell ()fly eye not fitted when this pic was taken)) to see if they did gold  :laugh: dont think they do tho  :cry:




i really want to do matching headlights aswell  :cool:
