    Hi Tigger,

    Did you get my private message? Had a look at some powder coat colour samples yesterday can't decide between saturn black or a gloss black for the Neptunes.

        A flat finish or a gloss finish

          I think gloss would look better... But I'm just a fan of gloss.

          Unfortunately, my Panther's only came in Matte... But their sexiness makes up for it.

            I have matt and gloss wheels, the gloss wheels are much eaiser to clean, otherwise it's personal preferance

              sorry MGT...I have been out of action for a few days...hence the delay.
              have replied to your pm...

              As for the centre caps...will the VW plastic caps fit? I have these on my new wheels to blacken out the bolts...
              They work great! cheap sets available on ebay from UK

                Hi Guys,

                Wheels and roof bars done really happy with the results and looks, waiting on the Eibachs now.

                Thoughts and comments please.

                Many thanks to Matt for lending me his spare wheels whilst my wheels were being done!

                Matt I will text you later to organise returning your wheels.

                MGT

                  Oops forgot this one, grey plastic caps will be replaced when black ones arrive to finish it off.

                              That does look good!

                              I am going for a similar stormtrooper look with my car but as yet haven't powder coated the wheels - that is my next job.

                              I have been playing with plasti dip on the grille, mirrors rails so far.

                              Dod you replace the roof rails or have them painted as well?
