Thanks, I'm still loving the wheels! They need a clean though. The keying incident has put me off working on the car for a bit but I'll be back next year with some updates.
Thanks.

To be honest it hasn't made much of a difference. If anything it's a little better.
Just caught up with this thread, not looked at it for a while, then I saw your wheels advertised and thought I better catch up!
Sorry to hear about the pikey scum bag and the case of the key attack.
Just be glad you dont live near me, some dude in Spalding the other day got boxed into a car parking space by 4 cars (1 parked next to him and 3 turned up) and had his car smashed to bits with golf clubs and had all of his electrical goods stolen and a £4000 engagement ring from the glove box of his 61 reg Audi S3. All because it was new and expensive!
This world makes me sick.
Nothing as regards CCTV or liability in the public/work car park? (check for "you park here at your own risk" signs)
Love the car though man, Taking it to the roots with campavolo (correct spelling?).
Much love
Tom

Holy $h*t!! Makes my little scrape seem insignificant!! Some people are scumbags!
I'm finally gonna get my scratch looked at some by some local guys and see if they can make it less obvious. Only £30 which is great.

And mine is really in need of a new years clean!

Its Lincolnshire for ya, they cant afford it and they want it, get jelous and smash it up.
Quite often see scantilly clad 14 year olds posing on the bonnet or roof of some of the cars down my street.
The bloke across the road just sold his Aston Martin Vantage and Bought a JDM Nissan GTR R35 fresh off the production line! SO SO SO SO nice! But he has 8 foot gates with nasty points on top mixed with anti-vandle paint.
Hope the scratch dissapears soon
Cheers

I live right in the centre of Norwich so I'm often driving around that area! What's your motor? I'll keep and eye out for you

Well most of the time my astra diesel
But as the clutch decided to die and i cant really afford the flywheel right at the moment, i thought it was a good idea to put the Hgt back on the road, had it about 2 years now
If you see me, give me a wave.

Not a big Astra fan but the Punto is nice! I'll keep an eye out for it. Flash if you see me

Lovely car mate
I'll be there

Right I need your opinions guys and girls:
As my car was vandalised not so long ago I need to start thinking about getting the paintwork sorted. I can either get the affected panels resprayed at great cost or vinyl wrap the car. I fancy going matte in either yellow or red (see pics below). What do you think would suit the car best. Other ideas are welcome.
Matt black would look cool I think.

It's been overdone done and now looks tacky! It's all about Matte colours these days
Matt red!!!!! Especially with those black wheels! But get the black bumper bits done in gloss/flat white to contrast

Didn't think of that lol.
I like the idea of the flag, maybe roof bonnet and boot one colour, one side another and the other side the other colour? And leave the bumpers white

Not liking the white idea TBH, I'm going to stick two colours on this car. The body colour and the black wheels, indicators, wing mirrors and roof (coming soon).
Back in the day Abarth's colour was orange, maybe thats something to think about
I like orange, my GP was orange. Flag sounds a bit fussy. I want it to look factory cool, not overly modded.
Same as above, too fussy to work. Keep it simple, it's hard to f**k it up then!
