Welcome back, Rick, glad to hear you're back in a T4

I had mine out today (to blow off the cobwebs ) and it's amazing how one can forget how these things shift...they just bloody fly!!!

Good luck with your new purchase!

I have these bad boys for my S40.

Not black, but not standard silver either.

Should be on the car soon, if the MOT isn't horrendous.

Hi Alex

They are Anthracite.

Paint from Halfords - refurbished them myself, from hand painted black Hammerite/corroded.

Look pretty good now.

Hopefully they will look amazing on my S40, too!

Cool, they look great, is it easy to do yourself? My wheels are surprisingly tidy so don't need a refurb, just a paint.....Is it something I could do easily or would I be better off taking them somewhere?
