Tomjw Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Soooo the plan trying to keep my wheels a seceret balls'd up after about a day as FAB tagged me in their picture on facebook LOL! So I've decided to upload the photos of them now as its killing me haha! Hope ya'll like!When I picked them up from FAB They actually look better in black and white hahaFun stretch Leftover paint, Yummy!Centers, barrels sealed with Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour and dishes sealed with Poorboys Wheels Sealant. Tyres with Meguiars Endurance Tyre GelThe inner dish isnt fully mirror shined though but we dont know why as they have been on the lathe but they just wouldn't finish so I might try some metal polish by hand but its a pain because I spent two days sealing them and now the wax will have to be stripped to see if they will polish up lol!All thats left is the caps which are on back order and longer bolts for my 15mm spacers on the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomjw Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Hi all! Been a long time since I've been on here so I thought I would show you whats happend since the last update So one of my rear bags burst as I was driving too low on themand maybe one reason why the bags were taking a beating...So I found that RAD (Reflex Auto Design) was selling some shocks from their GTI at a good price so I took a trip to collect them Love their GTI anywho went to Lincoln aswell to collect my new bags from Ami's green po poThe firestone bags also allow me to three wheel, yeah boy!Also got myself a cheap machine polisher and spent the day getting her back to her good shiney self I used Meguiars Ultimate Compound then Autoglym Super Resin Polish then sealed with Autoglym HD Wax...
