i think i've heard before that these dont polish up well?

They can polish up extemely well, but be prepared for ALOT of sanding lol :rolleyes: Think it took me a few weeks to get it to a proper mirror shine. If you can, get a dremel or someting similar, it will make it alot easier. Good luck!

the red looks fantastic in those pics. Any clues on the wheels or is it a secret?

Cheers guys. I think i will be getting a polishing kit or something like that for a drill....have to look into it! Polishing does get a bit boring :lol:

Well i picked up the wheels last night, only set i've ever seen and the bloke who i bought them off has tried to find out more about them but couldn't. He's sure they're off a TVR though and they have 'Camille Gotti' written on them, oh and made in itally :P

They're going to be a little project as they need a small refurb which i will do!

cheers pal.

its from kam racing mate, one of the owners is on here. the exhaust itself is made by scorpion.

think it was like 330? cant remember. you can just get the back box for 200 something.

took just over a month to come though as it has to be made, in my opinion thats a bit long but theres not a lot you can do about it really.

tbf its made it a bit smoother through the rev range!! thats probably because my old exhaust was so crap though.
