Turkish91 Posted June 4, 2010 Author Posted June 4, 2010 Mad JDM colour? The wheels themselves aren't going lairy but the lips and nuts certainly are! Quote
Liam_D Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Awesome buddy, cant wait to see what your doing with these. I reckon lime green lip and nuts though?? Quote
Turkish91 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Posted June 9, 2010 The wheels are officially at the powdercoaters! Dropped them off this morning, seen a set in the colour I want which he had just done the day before and they look the boy!!! Rim tape and Advan stickers have arrived...just waiting on the carbon centre caps and D1 wheelnuts now then it'll be job done! Quote
Turkish91 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Posted June 27, 2010 Update time...Been a while since I last posted in here... a lot has gone on Team!Car is now booked in for the bodywork to be done - 9th July until 14th July. Getting the whole N/S resprayed/blended in with the rest of the paint, getting the rear bumper repaired and resprayed (poss accident damage on close inspection - bulged up under the number plate in the centre section of the bumper), fitting and spraying my OEM rear lip and repairing the dent in the rear quarter below the fuel cap! So in just over two weeks the old girl will be looking FRESH to death! Can't wait woooo!The wheels are back and looking gorgeous, had a bit of a dilemma near the start as I wasn't sure on whether I actually liked them but luckily theyve grown on me and I'm happy with them now. The response received by the local bunch are that they look superb so I'm chuffed to bollocks with them! The wheel nuts are a bit shit, have got marks where Ive been taking them on and off but I guess thats life, it was inevitable that it was gonna happen! Carbon centre caps, white rim tape and white Advan Racing stickers finish the wheels off a treat. Bit of Poorboys on there too, in order to seal them in. Pretty impressed with it tbh but should really have done a few coats I reckon. But was in a rush to put them on so I could get over to my mates for the football!So anyway, enough talking...heres some pictures. Comments and criticisms welcome as always A few pics with my mates freshly resprayed Opel Kadett...fitted with a C20LET! Had a little race with him and it dicked all over me, running at just 2psi! Quality reg plate on it too! Quote

Turkish91 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Posted June 29, 2010 Cheers for the comments guys, much appreciated I wasnt too sure on the wheels when I first fitted them back on, but theyve grown on me so much! Next big update will be in 2 weeks time...cant wait for the bodywork to be sorted and have my rear lip fitted!!!! Quote
