h4mza Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Refurbished my wheels as they were pretty much scuffed up and it hurt my eyes too see them like this. Found about 5 spare black spray cans lying around so made use of it. Ideally wanted to do my wheels in gunmetal grey but for a professional job it was £70 and I'm currently saving up for lowering springs. So I might get the wheels done again soon after the car is lowered. To be honest my car would've ended up in tears as I had forgotten to tighten the locking nuts, as soon I took the car out of driveway, the wheels were rumbling so immediately did a U turn and back to driveway and tightened the nuts. Next I wrapped the fake wood dash trim in carbon but I'm not sure if I like it. I had to use the leftover wrap and did in 3 pieces, would've been better if I used one long sheet. Also did the gearbox surround. I then bought a set of headlights to dechrome and detango which I already have done now, will be fitted in a couple of days. The old headlights are damaged so I might just have a play around with it and try to make it into a projectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Tut tut not checking the nuts! Good job you noticed the noise! Wheels look much tidier now they've had some TLC, will look even better with a bit less archgap when you've saved for the springs Wrap looks good but can see the lines like you said.

NIKH25 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Wheels look like a top job, lucky they're still on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4mza Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Thanks, can't believe how I made this stupid mistake of not tightening the nuts lol. I was first thinking of doing the dash trim in red because the car's theme is black and red but then thought it might be too bright and distract my eyes from the road. Weather is good this week so my calipers will be sprayed red in next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h4mza Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 I just noticed my indicators on headlights don't flash orange or maybe very very light orange but from a distance they look they are flashing white. Will I get pulled over for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Not too sure if you get pulled but it will fail on the MOT. The indicator bulbs might be deteriorated. Quite common on todays cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
