J0N's (Jonnyjonjon's) LCR. Gone But Not Forgotten.

Anthracite Wheels. Picked the car up on Friday from www.wheelclinic.org.uk.
The finish is excellent and I'm really happy with the look of the car. Dropped
the car off on the Monday, went away for a few days and it was waiting for me
when I got back. Full tyres off, chemical strip, prep, bake, paint inside and out,
bake again, laquer, another bake, tyres back on and balancing. £265 all in.

I was really nervous driving up the trading estate to pick the car up after spending
ages and ages choosing a colour. I asked for anthracite and was handed 4 rings
each with roughly 40 different coloured cards on, would have been easier if they
just brought out light, medium and dark lol. But there it was, parked in the sunshine,
marvellous.
I'll post up some better pics when I can.

I'm so tempted to buy those brake discs!

Lovely looking beast you got there!

Jon, they look really nice. Love the gloss.
Get some wheel sealant on them if you haven't already.
Poorboys is good. Followed by some Nattys paste wax or similar.
It makes cleaning em so much easier.

Cheers. Can't fault the brake disks, been on a good few months now.

Thanks filbro. A side by side pic would look pretty cool now!
I must get around to sealing the wheels, I'll give the Poorboys a try.

The engine bay is looking really good!

I'm not a huge fan on dark alloys but it does look the business against the grey paintwork!

Cheers ben1413. This is my first full weekend with the anthracite wheels and everyone looks, it's like being in a new car. I'm really chuffed with them.

looks fantastic, i adviced against anthracite wheels to Rocky Rocastle on here as i didn't think it would work with the platinum...

 

[J@mes W]

A lovely looking motor, it looks spot on. Really like the engine bay mods and the wheel colour.

What's next on the list?

Thanks. I spent ages thinking about the wheel colour, looking on the forum, photoshop pics, etc. Parked next to Filbro at the Inters and that was one of the deciding factors. I'm glad I went for it.

Cheers. ROAD TAX!! and I've hopefully got a couple more little engine bay mods on the way with the kind help of a couple of people on here. Next big thing would be a FMIC but that's going to have to wait.

 

[Rocky Rocastle]

very nice colour, really complements the car

 

[J0N]

Glad you like em.

Excellent thread there jonny and thanks for the info you gave me earlier ive looked into them they are very nice i like alot. I know how you felt bout the colour of your wheels im getting round to having mine done so i thought i would take the spare in to have it done se what it looks like before i commit. Had it done in smoked chrome and went in to collect some bits of my lotus im having done and there was the wheel fresh out the oven as soon as i saw it i knew id made the right choice. will post some phots up when i collect the whel tomorrow.

Thanks
Rikko
