Started off with one dirty arch


Then I cleaned it more, and painted the calipers and various other parts black



I also cleaned up my alloys a bit


The insides were in a bit of a state, never been cleaned at a guess, this was the best i could be arsed to do


Wheel back on, notice my racing slicks , didnt bother blackening them as they are being changed tomorrow


shit pics, but its a bit bright today for taking decent pics

Always a good idea to lay aalloy wheel face down on a gravel driveway!
Were you not worried about scratching it?

done it before never had any bother, may stick a bit when you get the wheel off, a good tug normally does the job
