wheels looked SO much better in white. They look pap now sorry rich, if they were 15' or perhaps 16's they'd look better, although as they're so small they dont even look jdm or slag, just look.... pap. only word i can use to describe it. looked sexual in white however :D

get pics up of the shifter, glad to hear you're pleased with it :D

@geo: yeah, i was able to try it out properly this morning and it was brilliant, sooo pleased with it. the shifts are so tight and precise.

@spoonz: ive actually removed the bov and fitted the standard recirc, so i can get you a vid sorry.

@ecks: i did like them in white too, but the finish was appauling, and i needed some wheels as winter rims, and the blackracings are my favorite, so the enkei's had to go dark, im personally pretty pleased with them, but they would have looked better in dark grey like the old prolite's you bought, but the'll be refurbed again next year so i'll have another shot at it.

ah was the white finish fucked was it? thats fair enough then. if it was cheap then it was worth an experiment at least. think it might look better on a black car, dunno though, maybe its just pics (probs looks much better in real life).

ye grey looks good on anything, anthracite ftw.

yeah, the paint was peeling and it was all matt where they'd been sprayed with a rattle can and not finished properly, so the dirt was like imbedded in uneven paint... it looked shit.

i think it was worth a go, and they do look a bit better in real life, but youre right, i think they'd look much better on a black glanza or gt... but i think next tme i'll go for a plain anthracite or grey.

hows that paint lasting under the bonnet rich? i had a wierd thought. if it starts to fade and age...then....it may look a bit like....you've painted it....with poo.......

perhaps................nice dull/dark brown....give it time B)

Just a random thought, looks spotless at the moment though :lol:
