As it stands this morning Although the sun is shining and they reckon 17-21 degrees and I still have paint ;)

Do you mean the head unit trim? If so they sell them in Halfords

I put a fan heater in the Chav-cave and finished the last one! Only downside is that it's too dark now to take a pic of the car with the wheels done. I'll post a pic first thing tomorrow, but I gotta it's looking pretty tidy :)

I will do the drums and calipers but it won't be today, maybe tomorrow if it stops raining long enough!

I used to have a KTM 640LC, crazy bike!! Never once changed the front tyre, got through a few rears though ;)

So the weekend arrived and the weather report said it'd be sunny, they lied! Still, not one to waste an opportunity and after reading Bazza's post about wheels I decided mine REALLY needed to be done. As I don't have the luxury of a garage I decided to close the front of my car port(more commonly known as the chav-cave) with a bit of tarp that I had This should stop the car port feeling like a wind tunnel. Next up I robbed both front wheels, washed, cut and masked up Threw a lick of flat black on them Flipped them and did the back, whipped the cards out and that was the front two done Oh and just as a reminder as to the hideousness of the colour they were As I type this I'm currently sat in the Chav-cave with one of the rear wheels all finished waiting to put it back on the car and start the last one but considering its a monsoon out there I'm gonna stay in here and stay dry for a little while :)

Awesome choice!!! Are you removing the tyres to paint or masking up? If you are masking up use the playing card method, fastest way to do it :)

I just looked at your pic, and dude seriously GO ORANGE!!!!! It would look awesome!!!!

I used to have a black BMW 3series, I ran gloss black rims with red pin strip and the inside of the rims were red. It looked good but then I got all silly and bolted a NoS bottle on, sprayed the whole car in matte black and the rims went hazard orange! It looked so much better. Imo on a gloss black car go black and murder it ;)

How do you which is the last comment? Someone could write on this post in 6, 8, 12 months time

So now the evenings are lighter and tonight is a bit warmer I decided it's time to get something more done so I got home from work and ripped both headlights and sidelights out, this is the result Turned out quite nice, especially with the grill. Top tip for anyone else doing this LEAVE YOUR LIGHTS IN THE CAR!!! It's a nightmare trying to hold them and get the film on

Get a room you two lol :)

Soon as they're done pics will be up ;)

The bolt that holds the indicator on too is an M6 thread

Gimme 5minutes and I'll take a look at mine

Yup that's the stuff! Also I've ordered myself some fly-eye film today, should be here by the weekend :D

Cheers dude! I''ll have a pop at that then :)

I'm interested in how to get them out too. The previous owner has painted mine black! I thought they were tinted until I used the hazard lights and noticed they weren't allowing any light through!

Mines a Sport so I don't have this worry but to be honest if I were running a FMIC I'd probably go for a square motorcycle type plate and sacrifice a fog light

Loving Simons comment!!! Lol

Hmmmm, I quite like those morettes lights too but the angel eyes with black surrounds rather than chrome could look proper tidy!

Can I have a price for a sunstrip sized white one please? Oh and a PayPal address ;)

So with 5" of snow on the ground and the car in my carport I thought I'd take it easy today so I've put the grill on and I thought I'd slap some pics up And a before and after Gotta have the headlights "Fly-Eyed" now for sure :)

Yeah I'll strip using nitromors then smooth any curb marks with needle files around the lip, cut with 40, 80, 120 and 240 grit then respray. Mine are going satin black. Last time I did a set of rims it took 10 days but they did turn out mint. A quicker and still quite a decent finish is to use Smooth-rite hammerrite, thick hard wearing paint, tends to hide any deep sratchesbut it takes about 4 days to go off completely and you are quite limited to colour choice.

Postman arrived this morning with this for me Snow or not it'll be on by tomorrow :) Looking good can't wait to see it on. And like me just been outside well garage fitting some Hella horns :D
