Louvres make women want you more.
And make men want to be you.
Like Moustaches.

If you have the fitting kit then it should be fine. I didn't have one for mine. 3M double side Velcro tape kept it on at over a tonne though.
You saying you wanna paint the louvre? Thought it was brand new.
You gonna tell us how much you got it for?

Whats wrong with the actual Louvre mounting kit dude?
Liams always held on some velcro. And im sure he is a man born with spirited driving in his right foot DNA.
*edit. He beat me to it.

Boom!
BTW Attack, I never liked mine at first. Was massively gutted. We all know wheels make the car, but together with a wipe of Linseed oil on a louvre, they fucking transform it.

^ Whack!

Well it doesnt actually say brand new, it just says like new, but its all good, its just got the tinted old plastic black colour, i was just gonna satin black it tis all, but not 100% yet, i'll try it first
I offered him 150 for it, but he wanted me to stretch to 180, so thats what i got it for

It was only up the road from me though, took about 45 minutes to get there, about 3 hours to get back as the bottom end of my brothers Fiat Tipo blew up on the motorway

So had to wait for a tow...
Its got all the original fittings, maybe i'll put some velcro on it too, just to make sure

haha
**Aha i know what you mean, i laid it on the back of the car, it looks cool, but crap at the same time

I've got some 8x13 Compomotives to go on with coilies etc so once it's all on it should look uber cool, yeah, i said uber

haha

They're Johns fella! I just had a lend of them for a bit.
I wonder where Attack has gone. Fondling his new and expensive piece of fragile 80's tat I reckon.
[EDIT] He's back. Damn that's expensive! As you know though, you won't get one anywhere else! That's what I went to on a brand new one once and was outbid at the death.
When they look a bit tired, or the car isn't at it's best they look shite imo. When the car is looking good though then I fucking love them.
8x13 Comps make me

It will all come together then!

I'll stand by Linseed Oil mind dude.
Its very good on plastics. And has no flaking in the longrun like paint.
No primer.
Everyones a winner.
* Edit... HHHHHOOOOOOOW MUCH!!!!! , yeah, youll probably not see one cheaper for a few years.
And theres few people rocking them in the UK.
Fuckm cheaper than HIGHLY rare rimz innit bruv?
