Ruszczak Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hope that gives you some idea of how it went in, it sits in very well and i've never had problems from going round corners too fast! you might have to have the rear seats in the upright position, but I thought not.Is the sub a 12 inch or a 10 could you tell me. Just brought a 12 and going to struggle to shove it in the boot. Very nice loop by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan S Jones Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) So, Picked these up on the weekend for a very reasonable price! 15x7 with Nankang 185/45/R15'sgoing to do a home refurb will be on the car for summer!All tyres have plenty of tread left which is good, and it's nice to have a matching setMy girlfriend said she wanted to help with the car, so we're going to hand paint the centre caps in the original colours with modelling paint!I'm not yet 100% decided on what colour to go with for the wheels, i'll either be going for a taff green to match the paintwork, or a greyish/brown to match the leather interior,Thoughts and comments appreciated, Thanks.

mphgoose Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I love the leather interior! Id say go for the same colour on the wheels with a polished outer rim, that'd be epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan S Jones Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I love the leather interior! Id say go for the same colour on the wheels with a polished outer rim, that'd be epic. Going to have the rim polished either way, it's just deciding on the colour haha! i'll see if I can get photoshopped images of both colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan S Jones Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Model Paint for the centre caps has arrived today! I'm not really sure what i'm doing when it comes to paint. would it be better to strip the currant paint off, or just wet n' dry it and paint over?These are the paints, had a look online and these three seem to match the porsche colours closest.Advice on painting would be very helpful! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubsy Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 my advice would be to rub them down smooth, primer then paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 If you know someone who can lightly blast them with some fine grain sand it'll get right in the detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a look locally and enquire about sandblasting, failing that i'll just rub em down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
