 Well it sort of worked defiantly lifted the dent, heated the metal up which made it easier to pop out
 i managed to get behind the wing from the access panel next to the air box heated it up curtesy of
my better half`s hairdryer  froze it and then just pushed it out left a nice straight finish well pleased. :smiley:

i think black rims on a white car will look a bit unbalanced if you know what i mean.  :undecided:

I'm not a fan of black rims anyway but each to thier own an all that.  :smiley:

have to agree with you, silver all the way, but ats cups have some black detailing that might match in with the black detailing of the car. think i may make a purchase of some cups one day... have more needy things to spend on though...
