badgeless grille

wingmirrors wont look to bad and you could get wheels powder coated to match.. could look alright! I would say you would need to loose your transfer down the side to pull it off without looking nasty

1.8Stilo · Nov 4, 2009

thought you had pro race alloys

what happened? back the steelies

punto_matt · Nov 4, 2009

yes and no. people have been moaning about my somewhat long explanations so id dint give one. my insurance is up at next month so will stick them on my policy then. another reason is im trying to sort out my center caps as i cant get the rear ones on when i fit the wheels as the spindle is in the way so want to sort that first. when i say winter though. im not keen on hitting some black ice or similar and kerbing them, probably an unfounded reason but still.

punto_matt · Nov 4, 2009

If you hit black ice at a speed that is going to bugger your wheels you will have alot more to replace than just them

Reminded me, I think I may get some new tyres on my rear as they are pretty bad. Just got some new ones on the front. May as well get them to match in tread depth.
How are you going to sort out the centre cap business?

the badges are crap lol even i know that. which is why ive got another set to do despite having spent nearly £75 in total on the purple ones i have fitted.

OMG carl £75 on badges, that's about the cost of one of my tyres, and what have you got to show for it, $41t badges lol

at least you know it though. I'd give up on the badges if i were you.

Stll not sure about those angel eyes, but as long as you like them, do they actually light up the road anymore than standard headlights with upgraded halogen bulbs?

You've moved on a bit since i seen your last thread about your car! I do like the way you've done the calipers, colours not to my taste, but each to their own.

Can't wait to do my calipers, not purple though, now if only it would stop raining and i could be bothered to get my ass of Flash point game lol
