I have silvervisions , a slight orange tinge but its somethin' and fcuk all really . Offset pins ya need , front and rear are the same .
Got mine from http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk/ they're a bit of a fiddly b*stard to fit if you have big hands ,lol . Plus you get free philips blue vision...
Its alot easier than you think . One of the main things is to keep the wheel clean after each sanding , wash and dry it well before applying more primer / top coat .
You don't need to sand the top coat . But if the lacquer is a little rough you can sand it with very fine wet n dry , 2000...
It probably cost me about £25 - £30 , can't remember exactly now . You'll have loads of filler left even from a small tin , so plenty left for future refurbs .
Upol D Metallic filler . Halfords sell it in smaller tins , about £5.00 .

If you go from the standard 195 / 45 / 16 on a 172 to 205 / 45 /16 your speedo will read over . At 70mph you'll actually be going 71.08 mph
If you go to a 205 / 40 / 16 your speedo will read under and at 70mph you'll be...
1500 grit will do if you can't find any 2000 grit . Don't apply much pressure , let the wet n dry do the work , use soapy water with the wet n dry . Then use Megs scratch X .
Your better off applying the paint in small blobs with a cocktail stick and build it up slowly , let the first coat...
This is the one i have . Pictbridge , prints top quality A4 borderless , 5 colours and black separate cartridges , about £6 for compatibles . Prints direct to cd/dvd's with printable discs . Never had a problem with Epsons , had a few now ...
Love the wheels , i'm not normally a fan of colour coded calipers , i would normally say black or silver , but i think the yellow calipers look good with the acid yellow , absolutely love that Vee mate ;)
