Firstly..
my temperature gauge is sitting in the middle as it should, but after driving to work (9miles or so) the engine is stupidly hot.. opening the bonnet is like when you open an oven door and the heat hits you in...
The gold is just a tin of Hammerite Smooth Gold - £8 from wilkinsons and brush painted on :)
I decided not to do the rears as the calipers are so small, its hard to see em behind the 182 wheels anyway
Might do em when i get my turinis done, if i go back to turinis! still undecided!

I can't help but feel silver is just boring, it's a shouty little car with a 'lairy' paint job. And I love the stripes..
Silver is way too laid back for my liking! But I know they look fresh and hold more resale value..
I had white wheels on my blue saxo, I did like them but didn't like...

Ok, so due to the shocking conditions of the roads in my area, and a really dodgy miss-placed curb, ive managed to destroy my gorgeous cosmic grey / blue tint turinis! :(
my cup-packed 182 wheels had seen better days (From previous owner) so i decided they would be used...
Just sprayed my 182 wheels matte black for temporary wheels (while i get my turinis refurbed)
They were cup packed grey, but a few curb marks ruined them for me (from previous owner)
so ive sanded em down and sprayed em matte black.. think they look pretty smart, havent done the center caps...
