Red's sump is gunna be taking a hell of a battering, i couldnt get over how low it is! I'll stick some of my pics up when i get round to sorting through them, took more than i thought :)

We could start a meet at scotch corner, seen as we have people from all around the bishop darlo richmond area it seems quite central?

lol i did a spot of light quarrying getting into postion for one of the pics. Scotch corner would be alright for a meet. Maybe we could head up to the Stang for some pics.

Those pics where taken near Eggleston and Barnard Castle;)

yeah sounds good! i know where ya mean now.... wil have to work out a date sometime to meet and get a list of peeps wanting to come along :)

Yeah, i think its best off taking time to organise it properly. Decide where we are going to go first, then sort dates out. If we plan far enough ahead, everyone should be able to make it;) ps. a SCN stand needs sorting for next year Northeast Vw Show. Its going to be a biggie;)

Nah, theyre staying mate. Everyone wants them to be black but imo, thats the biggest downfall of alot of stealth styled cars..... to much black. There needs to be little bits here and there to contrast the black and break it up, otherwise it would be boring;)

Why dont you get them done black, but have the faces of the spokes silver. That would look very smart

Powder coating plastic is a very risky business and not worth it tbh. Also, the cost to have the paint on the wheels recreated in wet paint would be slightly expensive lol might photoshop then in various shades of anthracite or gunmetal to see what they look like.

Maybe, but it would only end up looking similar. A silver with a thin film metallic black over the top might be the boyo.
