Few major changes.

[Matthew]

Hi guys, a major change and a few smaller alterations today.

Got my wheels done by the wheels specialist (not cheap but very pleased with the final product)

Ime not interested in the "its been done before" comments, and "baaaaa" b****cks either...

I like them and thats all I really care about tbh. lol

Also fitted some silvervisions and the 3/4 plate is back on after the MOT. Also sporting my new CS sticker

 

[Christopher.]

looking good mate the red callipers set them off quite well

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Paint the badges white too

 

[jessica_laurie]

did you use that numberplate of mot? i took mine off just incase it would fail.

 

[caister]

Paint the badges white too

ditto. Looks great though

No I stuck the origional one back on for the MOT, both have velcro backing so I can swap them over as needed...

Looking good Matt, like the calipers red, Looks like it's been treated to a wax too with that beading on the bonnet
can you get the silvervisions anywhere matt?.....ie halfords maybe, i take it they are standard size indicator bulbs?

 

[Matthew]

[Greeny.]

I just stuck my standard plate over the top of mot with some old skicky pads and hope it held on.. then I got a £60 fine for my 3/4 plate when I removed it

Car looks great btw

 

[Y7 ADW]

Cheers Matt, i'll order some of those i think, they look much better than the orange ones.

 

[ScarySquirrel]

I'm not usually a fan of the RB colour, but that looks awesome. The white wheels with the red callipers looks bloody fantastic. Good work!

 

[Matthew]

Ive been putting off ordering some for ages, but when you get them fitted, its night and day mate.

 

[TimR26]

Wheels make it look similar to Christopher's which isn't a bad thing.

 

[jenic]

been done before tbh

Looks smart, when its on the coilovers and a bit lower it will be spot on.

Edit: Like the badge's silver personally so would leave them

 

[Mark R27]

I love white wheels on RB!! 3/4 plate looks so much neater than a standard sized one as well.

 

[adam172]

looks spot on really like rb's on white wheels !!

 

[Charlie.]

Really quite like that

 

[Matthew]

As Mike says, it will look better when its lowered on some coilies in 2 weeks time. Cant wait tbh lol

2nd thumbs up for that velcro from Halfords, is good stuff!

Car looks great on the white wheels, get it dropped a little and it'll look spot-on.

 

[Dean.]

sorry to go off subject but would a 3/4 plate fail?

 

[Matthew]

sorry to go off subject but would a 3/4 plate fail?

An MOT you mean?

Yeah 99.9% sure it would tbh....

 

[Christopher.]

yea it does, they have to be a certain size or fail it will

 

[chriscummins7]

looks amazing! Very jealous

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice indeed.

 

[conneh]

Looks good.

LOL@K-Tec for those Silvatec bulbs, thats actually a joke. I paid much much less than that for Silvatecs.

 

[Edd]

That looks stunning Matt! Good choice.

 

[Cal182]

Looks great!!

What did you use for the calipers pal?

 

[Matthew]

Looks great!!

What did you use for the calipers pal?

Hammerite smooooth mate.

 

[Cal182]

Spray can mate or tin of the stuff?

 

[Matthew]

Spray can mate or tin of the stuff?

Stuff in a tin!

Goes on really smooth, just as the name suggests I suppose lol

 

[Cal182]

I used hammerite smooth blue on mine, came out looking very RB so gave it a coating of silver, now I can't be arsed with silver. Lol!

 

[JB]

Looks mint! I've got Turinis on my RB and they're being refurbed white on Monday! Oh and I've got a 3/4 plate as well although the original plate is bonded on with something horrible, won't budge.

Suppose its a good job your "down south" then as they will look the same lol

Screwdriver will do the job!

 

[JB]

Oh dear and I'm after a Yozza! Don't think I'll paint the Wilwoods though. I'll attack the plate with a hair dryer first then crack out the DIY tools.

Out of interest did you go for a matt white or glossy?
