[Rob]

Great style of wheel, what size are they though? Looks pretty bang on tbh

 

[Mr Plums]

Hi Rob, they are 16" oz ultra's in graphite grey, i do love them tbh, theyre a great lightweight wheel.

I feel there's some HDR going on here with an SLR?

 

[Dan...]

That looks factory fresh - I love it!

 

[VIICarCare]

Looks spot on, love the exhaust too. Very sexy

Im crap with camera's mate, its just taken with a point and shoot camera, i lowered the brightness on some of the pics tho as they looked a little bright.

I had to search google to see what HDR meant lol.

Thanks Dan

Thanks mate the exhaust is a milltek, its sounds quite nice too, its not loud at all until you put your foot down

 

[chaski]

In which case, props to you Sir, that looks f**king clean!

 

[arg_carra]

Absolutely love that! Good work

My thought was exactly along these lines. In some pics it looks like the background has been deliberately blurred in Photoshop or something. The sensor really wasn't up to the range here.

The car looks great though.

 

[Mr Plums]

A few more pics from this afternoon..

Thanks mate, its only a £40 polaroid digital camera tho, i havnt done anything with the pics apart from the brightness on a couple.

Thanks mate

Looks lovely that mate, wish mine was as clean.

Thanks Adam pal, its getting there now

Probably the nicest arctic on here IMO. In fact can't think of any others that come close, good work.

 

[Mr Burns]

That's exceptional. Can't remember the last time I posted in this section but that's worth a compliment, and I don't usually like Arctic Blue lol.

I'd probably wager thats just the sky thats been over exposed blending into the tree branches. Lovely colour car though, I've never really thought much of it until these pictures.

Thanks mate its coming along now, i have a few more things planned but it will get there slowly.

Cheers for the comment If i could turn back time i would have probably gone for a bg.

Thanks mate, these last pictures are a little bit better than the previous ones as they were taken on my 3.2mpxl smart phone, these are a little bit better taken with a cheap digital point and shoot one.

It does show the car off much better than the camera phone tho.

Gay bandwidth. I have a feeling mine will be exceeded later tonight

A few more pics from last weeks clean which i didnt upload..

 

[dann2707]

Stunning. I like how you can see the calipers more with the mutlispoke alloys.

Those pics don't make it look arctic blue though? Kinda looks like it's on its way to being petrol blue if I squint and drink more ale.

[Advikaz]

Tidy mate.

Thanks mate

Mine were sprayed which did look good, but i was fed up of re doing them after they had chipped

Tidy mate.

Nice to see.

Cheers mate

[Mr Plums]

I will probably go bigger in the future mate but i am excited for now.

 

[R-Sport.]

Looks really nice-


Although the wheels don't really work- not really feeling it! & the front grill needs its top stickers in the engine bay to look new

 

[robhoops]

Did realise there was that much I bet thats going leave a bit of a whole in your wallet

I can see why your excited, I would be even having 250bhp would be more than happy to me

Thanks Steve,

I do love the look of the wheels and you can definitely tell they are lighter than the standard ones, although i know where you are coming from, i do love the oem look tbh.

Its a brand new top grill and it came without the stickers, i am trying to purchase some but im struggling to find anyone that sells them.

Thanks again.
