well thank you guys!

glad u approve!

i love them sooo much, but thought they might not be well received, as gold rims are usually JDM territory, specially in the matt/satin finish!

hammerite FTW! lol

ok, so 2 days till edition starts, so i started with a few jobs!

over last weekend, itrialed fitted the Votex roof racks i have!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

and i think they look quite fun, what do peoples think?! Rolling Eyes thumbs up or down for the roof racks?


also, mirrors went black, and i think the look better, they have a slight texture to them!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]


so that was last weekend, and today as i parked up at home after work, i decided a few things needed doin....
1st of all, my [subcultural stereotype] lights were to get the ALL red treatment,
looked like this.

and here they are in my paint booth! he he!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

so while the 1st coat dried a bit, i decided that rims needed cleanin! so got my cleanin stuff out, and went to clean them..... but imagine the look on my face when i saw how close i parkedto the curb on my driveway 2 days before the show!! Shocked

so the wheels went from....

to this....

also, my new boot tidy box got the obligatory WW treatment! Cool
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]


also, took the roof racks off as they need a bit of customization and an overall tidy!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]


hope you all like where this is goin, and ANY ideas, opinions or critsism is welcomed!

otherwise, you will all see a finished (well sort of) item at edition!
