dude, it looks tit5, you must be chuffed.

white vrs are the best colour!

get a lip onto it!

Oh and by the way...I painted the centrecaps all black because they looked too messy with the silly chrome there before. Here's a close-up of the caps and also the lack of room I've got between my tyre and arch :

Look s hot , nice , and clean...Well done mate .

micky you should make your thread all the mods you can for under $2.00 looks good man/.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Hahaha...well let me assure you a lot of them are a lot more expensive than $2.00. That said, I've been amazingly lucky and picked up some awesome bargains, that which I wouldn't have been able to afford had I not been so lucky. The painting on the other hand is probably all the cheap DIY that could be ....~$2. lol

Mickey mate. Good to see you got some better photos of the wheels. They look sweet as. When do we get to see the shiny red calipers?
Cheers,
Trent

[Mrk_Mickey]

Most likely when I do the fronts I'm off of ''work'' ALL week so will probably hit it on monday.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Well I finished painting the front calipers on Tuesday and still can't find the camera so I thought I'd throw on some phone pics:

[Jarred]

so, does it go faster now???

haha

Looks much better than the standard!

[Golf Houso]

Did you end up attacking the caliper Mickey?

[The_Hawk]

so, does it go faster now???

haha

Looks much better than the standard!

Just about anything looks better than the standard "rust" finish they shipped with But yeah, they do look pretty good in red and on the upside, red is pretty dark so brake dust is less of an issue as it is on my Yellow units

[Mrk_Mickey]

Haha Jared mate it stops faster because the brakes are red. so, technically, I can go faster for longer hahha.

Branko no I didn't attack the caliper, I can't be bothered yet. I'm still rubbing on the fronts despite the fact I want it to sit lower; if the tyres start to show dangerous wear caused from rubbing I'll think about attacking the calipers and deleting the spacers.

Cheers for the comments guys I thought it cleaned the look up a little from that beautiful...rust, from factory hehe.

Looks good !!!, I reckon you should detail the center cap, put a decal or something there. You got a close up of the cap? I can always make you a carbon plate like our OEM wheel and simply glue it on.

[Mrk_Mickey]

I thought about painting the outer ring of the cap red to match the calipers; I like the black look of them, maybe something small like that would be cool too? I'm open to suggestions if people wanna pchop or something? I'll get a pic of the cap now

EDIT: OOooohhhh VR6 centrecaps...

[AusScare]

Sig looks good, but the red calipers are missing!!!!

[Mrk_Mickey]

Hahahaha. Thanks for noticing I want to go back to that location and take more pics, that place was pretty cool...

Maybe with a fresh polish, ahem DAN
