I can definitely recommending debadging.
I didn't want to on my car, because people wouldn't know it was a 12v therefore not worth stealing. I'm glad I did though, 'cause it totally changes the look of the car for some reason. Get a Mk2 3dr Punto rear wiper too, tidy's up the rear a treat.
For the drums, all you need is a wire brush/wool to get all the rust and dirt off as far as I know. Then paint with Hammerite.
I'm going to do mine in the summer hopefully

Debadged Defo. And when doing your drums just use a wire brush and some water to get all the loose rust off and then use some hammerite to paint them with. do not use smooth black though as that's what i used and it came out grey 
use gloss black

Kelly debadging it will look lots better, and yes, painting the drums will also - just don't paint the flat surface that the wheel bolts to - leave that unpainted for safety reasons.
Is this a sensible enough post for you?
Oh and if you hadn't of hung up on me I'd of told you this over the phone 
Ahhh, back to normal

Yes you have, black wheels ALWAYS look better than white - regardless of what people may say, they just do!
I'm only being honest.
