Because I colour coded mine and my door-handles!

That looks very nice.. are they OZ GT1s..?

 

[George16v]

I have put some 16" Multispokes on mine about two weeks ago rather than the 17s and it looks much better IMO and drives better obviously. Will have to get some pics up soon!

Lovely-looking car - I like subtle mods. The colour-coded bump strips and the alloys look very nice indeed

What do you use on your tyres to get them that shiney? Does it last long. Cause ever tyre gel i use only lasts about a day.

 

[badinvincible]

paint

 

[DaveLiquid182]

"Armor All" tyre foam is good.

Standard, they all had Black.. its just peoples choice to colour code them.

The exhust was hand made by Eastside performance in Kelty (Scotland) they cut the bumper to make it look the part, I saw loads of 172s with the exhaust hanging down at the back and wanted mine to look different. Took them 5 and a half hours to make it but it was well worth it, didnt cost much either
