Yea they grew on me aye haha im glad i got them over the 18s, gonna look so much nicer when the cars painted and im lowering it next weekend hopefully. And yea I like the gray centers Andrew, ultimately i wouldn't mind some other rims but these are genuine and look good for now. When they are up for sale Ill definitely give you first priority on them

The paint on this thing has been touched up more than a 18 year old school girl , and whoever did the touch ups needs to be shot with a ball of thier own sh*t. Some repairs have been done in base coat with 2 pack clear, some done with 2 pack solid colour, some done with acrylic laquer and some done in enamel. Now who the hell uses laquer or enamel to do touch ups . Also it's been buffed/polished that much that in places the paint is SUPER thin.

Pulled front kit off to make it easier to repair.

Boot spoiler holes going away.

Holes gone.

Good stuff! Only skilled painters don't need spray booths right?

Want to do my car next?

Yeah mate, bring it on down.

goto a panel shop and get some quotes...not always as expensive as you'd think. or ask around family friends for ex painters or people who do cash jobs...sick of seeing Facelift E30's with no front lips lol you all need to cable tie and superglue them on!
