Eagle eye LOL that's what they call me at work!!!! No point doing it if it's not for perfection! :)

As I've already mentioned, I really can't wait to see these on the car. Going to look the tits! Make sure you get some quality pics with a good camera please :D

Will do mate, how did you get all yours off and did you skim off the mating face of the wheel to the hub too?

We got a grinding ball on it, slightly bigger version of a dremel's bit into a drill and ground away enough so we could see the wheel underneath. We didn't do the Hub / Wheel Face but should have really as I've got a few bits of excess around the join where the heat has melted it and squeezed it out a bit.

Well after cracking on with the dremel to take of the coating on the mating face i've nearly finished all the wheels
Heres a finished one ready to go on complete with its new centre cap

Still got to do about 3 holes on the one wheel but thought id update this whilst having a cup of tea.
I took the spare out to put in the boot and had to just quickly offer it up to see what itll look like when its on

Just going to have to wait until the weather stop changing every 30 minutes so i can give it a wash and get them on, unfortunately i dont know when that'll be as ive got 2 weddings to go to the next 2 weekends so will have to see.
Managed to win myself some aero blades and arms on ebay nice and cheap too (handy with the ridiculous amount of rain we're getting and the existing ones are the originals the car was made with)

As nike say - just do it
I'd been thinking candy red for a long time (years) and after having the wheels off the audi so i could still use the car i thought why not
It is going to be eye catching, be that a good or bad thing
Not sure on whether to hold off putting them on until after these weddings as turning up in a noisy, partially stripped car with shouty wheels might not go down to well
