had a day off yesterday and after finishing kts car!!!

so descided to tidy wheels up on the astra cos i had kurbed them! so whipped them off and had some gloss black paint left over in the shed, so few hours latter and 3 coats of paint they were done!!!

then today this afternnon i whipped the lights off and covered them in few layers off black with lots of laquer in to give them smoked effect but u can stiull c fine out of them and they have the E mark also - lol

looks quite different will get some betta pics of the wheels soon was getting dark when i took the pics!!

BEFORE:-

AFTER :-

i preferred the lights before.. they legal now?

wheels look good although could do with some red brakes behind them to break it up a little!

How did you do the lights? Quite like the look of them, so might do somehting similar on mine, as no fucker seems to be doing any smoked lights

well nopt sure if they are gonna last the test of time yet, i just rubbed them down to make them little rought! then coated them in few layers of mostly laquer and little bit of black paint in with it! so its vertually clear so light still passes though

ok fair play to you on the wheel job, looks good. Just see too many modified cars where people have taken halfords spray paint and done a bodge job.

i spray all my wheels with halfords spray can!dont mean its a bodge job though.if u know how to paint u can get a good finish doesnt matter if its aerosol or not.and just because u dont have a spraying company doesnt mean u aint a pro.
