The car looks totally different, for the better, sean.

I would also put the badge back on, as it will look right.

works all done egr changed, the fine mist that was gathering around that area is now gone. all cleared inside and taken for a good drive now getting 75ish to a tenner 7.55 ltrs to a tenner as well so about 10miles per quid (i get my derv in republic of ireland 1.32 with exchange rate on euro). wheels i had lined up fell though so gonna give a good clear outside and in while lookin for another set

[vtrsean]

going to be doing more work wens kawasaki green capilers and refurb the alloys i got so they look well, mortor sport alloys 5 spoke but need work so ant wait to get at it 16s

[vtrsean]

wheels now preped and well on the way
original condition as you can see not very loved v kerbed but all straight so worth a bit of work hopefully

filled

primed


center caps



im thinking silver like the center cap but then doing the center down the spoke black what do you all recon?

[rexer12]

the wheels are looking good, and yes the black down the center of the spoke would be a good idea, really making them stand out, cant wait to see them done.

[vtrsean]

was thinkin it would too. just doing it right no useing cheap parts
the wheels cost me 40 considering all are straight its a bargan even with the kerbing
they came with 2 good tyres
after i got them
used cif foam cleaner to remove all the tar and dirt
then bought the following for 25
2pk primer
silver
80grit sand paper for rough scraches (2sheets)
400 grit sand paper for breaking the existing paint all over to allow primer to bite
sprayed all the awkward bits fist
so far cost me 65quid i may need to buy another silver and a good 2pk laq to cover them
so expecting final cost to be 90 quid plus 2 tyres so 120 by the time the refurb is done

[vtrsean]

first wheel done. looking class the centre cap wasnt done to prefection just as a guide pics up around 5ish so give me ur views then just found out the make to there concept alloys? never heard of them has anyone had any experence with them?

found this tho: Venom Motorsport have teamed up with Compomotive wheels to produce a small exclusive range of high quality unique alloy wheels called “Concept Wheels”. ?? if so given the names associated with them they should be quite a good wheel esp for the 40 i spent

[vtrsean]

covered and preped


part sprayed


wheel sprayed no cap

wheel and cap sprayed

the cap is getting redone as it was just done quickly to see how it turned out what do you think to the alloys now? also found out there called from a brand called "concept"
