After 11 weeks of joyful ownership I thought I'd post a few pictures of the journey so far.

You have done very well in a short space of time,lots of mods you have done)
Have l you thought about powder coating the wheels black or anthracite?

I've never been a huge fan of black wheels, I prefer a contrast between the rim and the tyre.  The plan is to get either some titanium OZ Ultraleggerras or the 18" Romeo Ferraris rims.
That said, I'll take a look at the other cars at Coventry next weekend and see if my mind is changed.

Those alloys have been resprayed I am guessing and the diamond cut finish gone? Look much better this way!

I never even noticed that Brian.  Just looked for one with the same wheels on AutoTrader and you're right, looks like they've been sprayed.

Brian, no they haven't been respreyed. Bought from Wheelbase in Manchester and they are Team Dynamic pro race 2. They are as seen on the pictures, not been re-sprayed at all. I'm getting another set of alloy that will be much better looking than this ones  ;D
