eco steelies !

[big_dave_r]

my mate has an econetic fiesta or ecopathetic as we call it. in vision blue. 70+mpg 95bhp £0 tax.
he has no real interest in modifying cars but i managed to persuade him that if we were to spay his steelies it would be make his car look loads better, cost him virtually nothing and if it looked s**te he could just put his hub caps back on.

here are the results.

i did a quick photoshop to get an idea of what we were aiming for

taped up and started sanding.

primed

vision blue

masked the blue then added black

then lacquered it up

and finally the finished product

the funny thing is. since spraying the steelies he has decided on 50mm lowering springs and a remap lol
i was quite shocked that a remap on an econetic fiesta takes it to 125bhp 288nm of torque and the mpg increases to like 80mpg lol

looks sweet! may do this to the clio

Because it's a remap, he'll still pay zero tax!

Nice take on the wheels there, I was expecting white paint.
