Decided i'm e furbishing the wheels again to White. Probably go for some Pearlescent colour.
Coil to buy tomorrow too.
Also thinking of a silver pinstripe down the side of the car, just under the swage line and possibly something where it meets the c pllar, will have a play on photoshop
white wheels:
thanks for looking, comments more than welcome!!

Loving the sticker choices lad! Wheels look good, slightly more silver than white, must be the lighting.
Keep the pics coming

haha aye i do, its more the fact refurbing them is cheaper than getting new wheels
Done 2 wheels - wanted a pearlescent white like those ford Kuga things come in but halfords didn't have any. so got 'appliance white' - perfect colour match to fridges and Dishwashers

fitted:
Cant wait to get the next 2 done, they are fairlys stuck to the car after i ran out of copper grease when i was changing them last time :/
Thanks for looking

But nah, will stay blue might see about getting them spaced out a tad next

I like it a lot. Mines got a pinstripe, black. Where did you get yours from, Need to restore some of the panels on mine, which would involve the destroying of said stripe. Might actually do it now that I know they're available!

cheers! I actually got it from halfords, just less than a fiver for that one. They do black ones too and in lots of styles, you get 10 metres and its just enough if you leave gaps for the badges, well could possibly JUST make it if you worked it out perfectly but it is best to let them curve round the edges of the panels. Also the boot lock, mine goes over that by about 2mm, had to trim it with a scalpel to get it to stick down properly.
i was tempted by one like this but they only had black and it was more expensive
