i found some ats cups for sale so I'm pickin them up on saturday lol lookin forward to givin them the same mirror polished dish like yours :) although i am tempted to spray them all black :) mate i think it will look quality on the car with that cream u got any further with the other wheels yet?

nope...I'm in London now so they are all at home in leciester! But my Dads gunna bring them all down to London next week so I can finish them and put them on my car!!! So there will be more updates next weeek!!

Awsome mate....please dont spray em all black....polish the dishes and paint the centres....they will look mad!!

snds gd mate u gone back to uni then?

I was thinkin bout sprayin them black with the black bits on the original rims orange cos I'm not sure that polished dish would look good with pistachio car, although i really want to polish them lol :)

Polish one up and see what it looks like, if you don't like it you can just key it up and paint it! Yeah back at uni now, I do graphic design at Camberwell collage of arts!

nice lol I'm actually in graphic design atm at colege lol :) its a gd subject i recks

ye ill do that actually cheers nice one lol :)

Haha sound...I'm always on cp or ed38 in collage! Finished yesterday, Monday to Wednesday ftw!

Was thinking this cream...its porsche ivory....but where would i find it in a rattle can?? My other options are landrover ivory or ford ivory....

find a motor world.... and hope they have a paint station... they will mix up rattle can, tutch up botles, 500ml, 1l tins of paint.... just give them the paint code and they should be able to do it.....

oooo and is that a yummy E-type in the back ground....

legend thanks....i'll check that out!!

E-Type....just been staring at the pic for ages, where?! I can see something in the window but cant tell its an e-type?!

ahh i c it now dnt look at any of the reflections and try to look through the window if u no what i mean theres a light blue maybe silver e type in there?

Very small update....smoothed all the centre caps today, they are primed and ready to paint!! I just hated the shiney 'keskin' logo....think it looks gay tbh!! this took about an hour. Soooooo.......

All sanded down and ready to prime....

Primer on....

Just to give you an idea of what they look like on the wheel....

Comments welcome....

mate you need some sort of logo on the centre caps imo, maybe vw or some sort of sticker as i think it looks a tad weird without a logo on them, nice and smooth tho :) u need to get polishing those other dishes wnt to c wut they look like on the beast lol

i know what you mean but when they are painted and on the car I'm gunna decide cuz they may look alright!!! But yeah a vw logo or something like that sounds good to me...

just thought i'de dig this up.....i may have my car for the holidays coming up! If I do then the wheels, coilovers and bumpers will be going on plus anything else I can think of.......fingers crossed!

wheels looking aswesome m8 , how long does it take to sand down to the highly polished shiny end stage ?!
