The only thing thats stoping me from doing it, is what if my battery dies on my key fob?.. how do i lock my car then?

Thinking of delocking my car, coz i dont even use that bit, just gets in the way, and is slightly rusting! anyone know where i can get it done?.... don't wanna do this on my own, rather get a professional to do it

Yeah never liked them, other people put tights over it... looks gash!

Marshall all the way :)

Looks ok, but at least we get to know what a smoothed back end looks like... rubbish! lol

Whitely - Paint cost £3.99 per 300ml can, from my local car and mechanical store... Primer is around £6 from halfrauds and so is lacquer, but only need one can of lacquer, lasts for ages!! coz u dont really need to put THAT much on it if u know what i mean! A18XHO - If u ask afroahmed nicely...

What colour r u spraying urs?.. i'll give a big tip mate, make sure u have vacuum every little bit of dust that is produced when sanding ur alloys mate!! big tip, and also make sure u put newspaper in the bolt seats, the 4 holes where u bolts go. common sense really!

Face and spokes, i will do the whole wheel if needs be, coz i couldn't be arsed to take the wheels off and then put them on again, still the same effect to be honest.. Just alot more cleaning is required

Well TBH, i bought 1 can of 300ml of paint first, and i needed to buy another to do the last half of the final wheel, primer u'll need 400ml im guessing, and lacquer, 300ml will do

Whats rim tape?

It was really bad, the really badly kerbed one, is now like the least kerbed one out of my wheels before.. here are some pics for ya :) Tell me what u think!

I'll post them up tomorrow when they're done... :)

Lol, just teasing ya!... not getting pics up until its completely finished! will be finished by tomorrow tho, so i'll post pics up then! :P

The bra only looks good on a black car, unless its color coded...So yeah, if it was silver, might look better! :) Dont fancy the furry dice tho! lol, (dont know why nobody has noticed!) plus the tax disk needs to be change, i mean the holder that is!

Anyone want a sneak peak of the wheels so far?... or do u wanna see them all four on the car?? finished 2 wheels, and looking fabolous! :)

I hand sucessfully sanded down and primer 3.. the other one, hmm, taking a while to sand down, due to the massively dented rim edges! lol, i think if i can't do it properly for that one, i'll get a refurbishing company to do that one.

Ok i will take that on board, but i am not always at home.. so it may be difficult, but i'll try my best Rover stone grey? anyone confirm this please?

Nah tbh, it was the wrong thing to buy! i wanted to get the dark smoked versions but couldn't find any of eBay that suited my price budge, so opted for them ones. lol. bad choice i know!! But they're back up on eBay with 6 watchers! :)

Lexus lights are off because of the pressure, but i dont mind. Stripes are staying on because its my thing :)

Coz i'm away for 2 weeks during those times.

Sanded down the scuffs and kerbing till i'm satisfied... then primer.. in a weeks time, then paint, in a weeks time then lacquer, and then i'll show u the finishing product :) Btw, does anyone know what paint color is close to the 182 anthracite standard wheels??

Thank you mate :)

My car, i can do whatever i like to it, but to be honest, everytime my car is mentioned, there seem to be familiar faces saying the same old thing.

I can't win, oh well. I'll just get all the abuse and take it on the chin.. oh well! :)

Well they haven't pull me over yet, so dont need to explain lol

Lexus lights are off, and the number plate is spaced out purely to show the number 51... its a number that means something to me, so leave off.

Precisely, the main thing that the IK does is make the engine sound louder when u rev harder.... so if u wanna hear a louder engine, u rev more, the more revs u do the more fuel consumption. precisely.

Seriously? I was thinking of upgrading to a 182 in all... in that case! nooo thanks!

Asda or Tesco have their own branded stuff, does its job!

Look at where the car is situated, looks like chavvy council houses to me lol
