Really annoyingly, drove 2miles to take the pic and got a small stonechip.. but it shouldnt be a prob.
It will be a shame to fit a plate on that now. Any ideas what your doing with it yet?
Car looks stunning btw :thumb:
Plate wont ever touch the bumper. Trust me on that,
It can stay inthe window for the time being..lol
Cheers dude.
Looks really clean mmmm
tis a cool mod .. i wanna see the turb rims on it
Cheers guys,
Peester... so do i.
Looks awesome mate. Copper sounds like a tit!
Cheer craig.
Wheel now all sanded and taken back to the polishes as i can get a finish i'm happy with...
Update
Been hand sanding the wheels... Its not fun. I started to polish one and have given up, i cant get it to polish up nice and right.. so taken them back to the polishers, they are gonna get them all done by the weekend, so they should all be fitted by next weekend...
Use a lil bit of paint stripper... Did the cambelt and wheels at the same time.

More soon..
That bumper really looks superb man! Personally id keep the speedlines, not sure on how the new wheels will look. Might change my mind when i see it though!
p.s. that 1st picture of the new ones is now my new background. Feel priviledged lol
Speedlines are to boring. Everyone has them, Just dont like them like i used too. Turbo rims should look great.. i hope.
I do feel priviledged, thank you :)
Makes it all worth doing.
Update
Wheels where all hand sanded and have now been re polished and are all done.
Have just picked up a spare set of turbo rims to use as well.
Looking good Ben, I think your new wheel choice will look great..... I saw these pics recently and wow they do look exceptional!

car looks stunning mate
Super shineeeeey! Will be even more bling with the wheels on lol
Minted!!! :)
You can paint cars mint mate, you can even smooth bumpers to a high standard, but can you **** use photoshop lol
Car looks stunning Benn. the bumper detail is really impressive and has come out really well. Hard work paid off!
Surprised you got s tone chip though - Wasnt the bumper lacquered or was the chip in the lacquer?
looks mint, loving the front bumper
please dont tint the windows...
looks great as it is.. have you changed the rear suspension? looks abit high?
will look stunning on the new rims, as said tho seems pretty high
thats is amazing what colour did you paint your bumpers
Cheers lynz and tidge,
What photoshop? Cheer too.Quote:
