Picked my wheels up yesterday ( these were the £150 ones of Ebay i bagged) and got em refurbed by Lepsoms in Gillingham.

Fitted em yesterday and came out the righty shade, i wanted anthracite but not black, wanted them dark, anyway had them done and the colour is Car Dark Anthracite, Pleased cos they set off the platinum grey and go well with the mirrors, Also whacked on the rear badge and Aerial from the old one.

Now just got to save up some cash for my bumpers and sideskirts from my freindly local parts man ( cheers Ben) and then i'll be 110% happy with her.

cheers, Changing once the insurance comes up for renewal, Elephant charge £20 to change the plate, so may as well just wait till i change the plate.

Plus i am saving like mad for the other bits at the moment, so every penny counts.
