Looking very nice, how much do you charge :)

Cheers, I was really happy with the outcome, certainly when you see the original pics of how damaged they were.

All were balanced and tyres fitted when sent away.

Depends on the condition of the rims etc really.. never really thought about doing it on the side to make money, but I guess it could work out if there were some who'd want me to..

Do you have any tips for getting a true gloss black finish? I brought some Faqcelift FR's but was already sprayed black (badly) and want to do them myslef, Cheers

I'd prob say rub down lightly between coats. When you're doin the lacquer, rub down the last layer and it'll go matt, spray on another layer and it'll come up glossy.. But search around before you use my advice as I'm in no way a pro at this! Lol

Sorry to bring up something you did ages ago... but could you post a link to those LED's you added to the dash (under radio) - and also where did you get the flip key from? Dealers?

Very nice ride by the way, I really love the OEM style Mods, nice and subtle :D

Thanks!
