- Wed May 21, 2008 9:28 pm #56245 above ^^ posted wrong pics before.

- Mon May 26, 2008 8:54 pm #56672 okay here are pics of the red wheel on the car. just one of them on. not sure what to do. polishing the lip is too much effort. might do all red, red with gunmetal lip, or all gunmetal.




i am painting the bonnet bk silver soon btw
ideas/opinions?

- Mon May 26, 2008 10:39 pm #56681 All gunmetal

- Thu May 29, 2008 9:24 am #56928 ok whored up a side pic of the car yesteday as i got in and the drive was empty hehe. you can see the painted oem 13s im running on the back as i got a puncture in one of the rear wheels and it looked pickey with a spare wheel. still gota get hold of a new wing. and btw it isnt lowered at the back yet, im lazy, but doing it this weekend.

- Thu Jun 19, 2008 9:59 am #59088 UPDATES!!!!!!!!!!!! woooohooo!!!

Painted my wheels today.
decided to paint them white as i mentioned before (grand prix white)
i was going to do the base colour for my hood today but it was too windy and i could be bothered to take it off and do it inside, but at least its in primer now

The hood primered; did this sunday


Started primer on the rim and then got round to the front so its nice and clean





White paint on


... and the other


and two wheels finished,.... well nearly, just need to laquer them

- Thu Jun 19, 2008 2:38 pm #59103 Looking much better man, no offence but the red before looked really cheap. The white looks mint. Can't wait to see them on your car not sure what white and silver would look like.

not sure what white and silver would look like.

- Fri Jun 20, 2008 12:40 pm #59161 slip civic- yeah i no, it did. but i was just experimenting. saw an EK with white wheels at a meet few weeks ago and so i set my mind on it and got some white paint, went with grand prix white.

DafWales - thanks dude. well my dad does body work on cars, and paying loads at a shop for paint was never an option, so i just tought my self through trail and error rele.

will get pics of them done and one the car by sunday hopefully. got to paint two more then im done.

mini me swap coming soon also so WATCH THIS SPACE lol
