I wasn't really feeling the black so tried a change in colour, not on the car as I'm not sure yet..

car looks rad dude! keep the updates coming 8-)

Liking it so far mate, good progress.

Pete.

Duuude your car is so damn nice. What are those wheels called specifically? I know they're merc wheels but I can't seem to find a definitive answer :p

Also see that A4 wheel, how did you get it to fit? Did it just go straight on?

Lovely car mate! Would you mind telling me how you made your tail lights all red?

Cheer mate. The wheels I think are called 'Merak's' but I had problems finding the name too..

the A4 wheel was ok to get on just had to make the make the hole a little bigger for the air bag plug.

Just used red tinting spray.

Just used red tinting spray.

I take it that's all legal then? And did you just get the cheap stuff off ebay?

Not sure to be honest mate, I've had no problems.

I've got red tinted rears done the same way and never had any unwanted attention. I heard a while back that you're supposed to have green indicator bulbs so they still flash orange but as I said haven't had any bother without. Although I've always swapped back to a spare standard pair of lights for MOT so not sure on that.

Sweet 9n by the way mate its almost exactly how I'd want mine if I had a bit more cash

How'd you get the rear view mirror off?

Was thinking about spraying mine too!

What coils you got in?

Looks sweet. Have you got another shot of the new coloured rims.

I've got to spray my mirror, makes such a difference.
