Spartacus

15-04-11, 10:36

Lepsoms LTD in the UK do chrome plating and black chrome plating if you're interested.

I got a price on 19" wheels, you're looking at about 100 sterling per wheel.

PeterT

15-04-11, 10:38

Cheers for info mayn, altho these wheels are only to get me by until I find some tasty offset monsters in 19"!

Bumper like above! Want to do lights but no idea how?? Headlights I mean

C_O_N_O_R_

12-05-11, 19:13

MORE BLACK!! You should defo smoke them lights. As soon as you get them coilovers on it, it will transform that car. Cant wait to see more pics.

Im pretty sure I was reading a thread on here about lads using a tint spray for tinting their lights.

Use that film to tint your lights. Spray looks un-even and pretty shit. If you don't like the laminex after a while you can just peal it off. Simples!
