Those wheels look much better than the old set! Loving your car so far...
The 172 rear bumper damage looks like it has been dented in and then heated up and pushed out to try and repair it.. and it has cracked the paint..
Liking the white brake calipers too... are the wheels going white to match?
Also, how come you didn't mask off the tyres?
Cheers,
Alex

yea thats prob what has happened mate, i am thinking i may respray it myself if the wheels turn out good (boast up my confidence)
I also have a full 172 front end sitting in my garage which i am not sure about fitting yet as its gonna cost a fortune to get it all sprayed,
The wheels are going white mate yea, i also have vmaxx coilovers going on it in the next month
Tyres werent masked off because they are all shot (like 1 mm of tread if your lucky lol) and will be coming off anyways

If you are getting new tyres put on them be careful as hand painted wheels aren't that great at standing up to brutal tyre fitters..(i wrote the guide on here for spraying and filling alloys wheels - my brother is Jungle_JiM )
If you are spraying the rear bumper yourself have you though about possibly hiring a compressor and airgun to spray them properly? and you could do the 172 front end?
I recently colour coded mine using rattle cans.. but i bought some really fine sanding pads and put them on my porter cable to sand the bump strips completely smooth and flat.. and i managed to get a pretty good finish.. will look good when i have compounded them with the porter cable in the summer..
White wheels will look awesome! Im liking the black and white theme.. but i know white wheels would annoy me as they would need cleaning on a weekly basis!
Good luck!

i clean my car like 3/4 times a week anyways, i am a car valeter part time aswell so my car is techinally my show peice if you get me, so everything has to be perfect on my car.
Yea i sorta followed jungle jims guide on the wheels, and im gonna need to watch what i do when i get the tyres fitted as i know the paint wont last long
I dont have a porter cable atm and i think it would cost a fortune to rent out the air gun thing could weight up costs etc
Cheers anyways mate, and your work on the rear bumper part looks nice
