any suggestions what i should do with the wheels would be a great help! i was thinking of having a really polished lip but not sure if i should colour the centres ???

I Like it :) same as mine.

I think the spoilers that overhangs the rear window a little would make the back end look so much better

now to the wheels :) with these i needed the curbing taken out so a friend of mine put them on a lathe to sort out the marks then we sat down for a while discussing colour choices ! and i said to him i wanted something unique to make these wheels stand out ! so we came up with the colour u see but it hard to see in the pictures as the paint goes different colours depending on the light! as you can see he used a few flakes to get this effect which i love, from a distance the wheels look black but when you look at them closely it hard to see any black but again depending on light. At trax they got a lot of attention even though it was raining but at the end of the day i went to meet my mate at the show and shine and the people over there loved them so im glad it has taken this long to get to the right colour.... enjoy the next few pix

one thing i can say to people on here about wheels and picking the colour is take your time and think about it! and mock up some ideas on photoshop before diving in as it is expensive and if any of u are local to suffolk Norfolk area and want a refurb inbox me and i will pass u on a number as it dnt cost me alot at all

and some new things i have just got for the car is a JL audio sub( 12inch) and amp (500w) but plans to get a second sub and door speakers. The plans for tht is a false floor in the boot and have a stealth system but i have no idea how to start building it so any help links ect would be good and also after a leather interior for the car to cash waiting in a few weeks :p
 
definitely getting there! needs projectors in the front the lights are minging as they are.

colour cose, sort the rusty hubs out and it'll be sweet as that, great progress...
