Ok so 1) I hate you, I'm on mobile broadband and god knows how much bandwidth I just abused. 2) I love you, what a damn brilliant read, an epic amount of commitment and some serious time and money gone into it, threads like this make them grow on me 10 fold. 3) I hate you, I've just wasted...

No way man! Wet sanding one wheel thoroughly, as long as off the car, is going to take what, 1.5 hours or so? As it's only that bit of the wheel that's baked, not the spokes. To get it looking like the others, well worth it IMO :rasp:

Seen you twice now, once Friday night when I was walking to the pub and I drove past you parked in a driveway last night. Black 182, EVO and CS sticker in the rear window, black LED style rear lights I believe?

I swear he said it was just one wheel in the OP??? Edit:

I'd just wet flat it, start at a high grade and work your way down til it starts to have enough of an effect, then just have some patience and it'll be fine!

Some pics? I'll have a damn good crack at helping then. If anything the top cap should be very loose/high up after fitting coilovers, so shouldn't be too tight.

Fubar, lol! Looks good, subtle.

Jeebus people.... Get yourself some self tapping metal screws from B&Q, line the bumper up with everything, tiny drillbit, drill two pilot holes in the car through the two holes in the ph2 bumper,line everything up again and just put your self tappers into the bodywork. (You can do this with the...

Cage looks amazing that colour! Finally using the car as you should, congratulations. :)

Like polish them? I fecking like this idea!!!

No idea how to get such a neat lip myself tbh. Also if I were going to do them all myself, I'd prefer a change I think? Cheek! My wheel painting skills are good man, just my lacquering makes things FAR too dark! LOL! I've done a few sets of wheels now, I do a mean "dark silver"

Considering doing them silver myself tbh, although I'm scared of them ending up dark when lacquering as usual! LOL! I may prep, prime and paint them myself, then have a bodyshop or similar lacquer them.

Dan, no one is game to do two colours, especially spraying a rim on, your mate must be a one man miracle!!! Even some proper crazy wheel specialist down in tonbridge wouldn't touch it. Tossers. lol! Luke, I quite like black f1's as long as they're gloss they look alright most of the time...

After having an altercation with a kerb one day a few weeks ago I'm having some serious trouble finding someone to paint up my spare alloy the same as the ones already on the car... So I'm in a bit of a pickle, my options: Have all of the wheels done again, colour unknown? (Black? Silver...

topgeartom is the username you want to look up I believe. He's even selling them, I want them, just don't want to pay for them ;)

All you lot are just killjoys, IMO of course ;)

If it's twisting, I'd suggest it's twisting at the joint between the back box and centre section, get a good exhaust clamp on there and do it up tight. :)

Wish I'd come, but I've really met any of you lot (bar Brian briefly) and I had an engagement party to go to Looks like a good laugh, plus I love a piss up ;)

I don't understand your problem. Cable ties holding it in shape and a socket in the bottom, you should have no problems, at all. Post some pics up and I'll try to help a bit more.

Correct choice on the plate. Car looks fecking mint mate, 100% the best car on here for me.

Welcome to the site, did you replace the speedo sensor with a new item or a second hand one?

I can't imagine having a job where this sort of stuff was enforced tbh. I'd rather not have a job than be treated like a child. I work solely on a laptop, that has never been touched by anybody with regards to locking anything down.

Looks brilliant mate, but it'd look about 10x better with some spacers.

Looks very nice and standard, assuming its lowered though?

You get 'em Steve. lol!

Play in the balljoints/the wrong bolt size's fitted. If I were you, I'd just change the pair to eliminate them. They are supposed to be 12mm bolts, but for some reason you can buy 10mm and 12mm, if the 10mm bolts get fitted they just work loose and wobble. Most motorfactors sell Balljoints for...

Are you having a f**king laugh? I've been waiting for over a month for mine. All I keep getting is "delivery is coming in wednesday" etc

I can understand the thinking behind the purple and it does look quite cool, but the cream just looked "right" Although I'm not you, so I cannot really say, I think the cream gives the car exactly the look you're going for.

Quite like it Mark, but if I were you I'd go back to the paintball place and have them shoot the roof/doors/rear quarters. Then lacquer the whole car!!!

Get all those wheels done Cream boyo!
