It'll look better with some muck i think :L At least the wheels will be clean :D I'll see what the weather is like and might give it a wash tuesday afternoon! With this colour of wheels now I think a nice carbon fibre wrapped grill might go down a treat and maybe some mirror covers

If you do, go for Gloss. Matt looks cheap and it requires meticulous cleaning apparently!

Yeah lack of cash is making me hold up on doing much else, but I don't wanna waste too much on the car either :/

I wouldn't paint the drums mate. They look awful painted, if you wanna paint the calipers on the front i'd go for red :)

If you're gonna paint the drums a nice flat black would be the one. Keep them dull and hidden lol.
