wel been trying to but little things that dont cost to much but make the difference on the car so last wednesday i drove up to shropshire and droped my wheels off with iaz he said he would start them on the saturday and have them finished by the fri, left them with him an got a u2u on wed to say they were done but he wanted to keep them till fri an give them a polish and make sure they were dry so went up fri and picked them up they are spot on, i absolutely love them, them charge colour so wel with bein a pearl and the finish is excellent

also whilst the wheels were away at iaz i fitted a some headlight protectors took the chrome v grill off and sprayed it black (bit different and had the paint sitting there so better then nothing)

Looks good mate, one thing though you should've taken the clip on weights off the rims before painting. Gona be silver under there when the weight comes off.

Well if you know the colour you'll just have to get a touch up stick when they come off. And when they get re-balanced get them to use stick on weights on the inside of the wheel.

Agree with those comments! black vgrill looks tops! deffinate change from the chrome ones

get these repeaters,

look much better than regular smoked ones, dont really look like the photo, they look like regular ones but painted to a mirror black finish, but dont dim the light down like painted ones would,
same ones as on my car there aint got a good pic but can take one tomorrow if you want?
