Yeah deffo!

On the wheel side of things i think its sort of a marmite situation....love them or hate them.
But....as for the colour coding quite a small mod but a good one as i think it "beefs" up the car a bit...if that makes sense :D
Even on black i bet it looks loads better 8)

hi, yeah i do detailing, hence the paint being in such tip top condition,

they are indeed the front mount hoses and the grills were bought some time last year at a cost of about 80 quid in a group buy, are stunning oem quality and look great

white, wheels still aint on mate due to the naff weather were still having, be a while till they are on too i think :(

they are in my bedroom at the minute all sealed and protected ready and waiting to go on with the contisports fitted, just need the weather now

rich, for the grills i use a shot of safe apc to them aggitate with a brush and then just wash as normal with snow foam lance and karcher, when done, blast them clean with cool clean water through the karcher aain
