Default OZ Mag Wheel refurb colour

A fifth replacement wheel is being sent to me to replace the stress cracked wheel I have (its a long long story) then all four of the decent wheels are being refurbed but not at my expensive

So I have a oppotunity to change the finish when they are refurbed.

At the moment they are like this:-



or do I do them like a large version of the original Monte wheel



Or something else?? My car is mallard Green BTW

Larger version of the Monte wheel is what I would go for. Where are you getting the refurb done, still havent found anywhere to do my mags yet?

Paul this place http://www.ianjemison.co.uk/contact.htm

I'm thinking of the original style because 1. silver is easier clean and 2. the original idea for having these wheels in 18" was to have a pumped up Monte on steriods. Fozy has already done this on his but I'd have the decals smaller and minus the ford badges and have them lacqued after like the originals aswell

Fozy wheel:-

Silver is the way forward then

I've got the RS500 grills since that pic and just fitted new Amber indicators, clear side lights and amber side repeaters all from Ford, looks so much fresher now couldn't believe how dull they had got!

The jury is still out on the twin headlights for now I'm going to buy a brand new pair from Ford in the new year as mine are dull and pitted and see how I get on with them. Deffo standard rear lights. I had considered the tear drop door mirrors originally but the standards have grown on me and are staying as they are

Good lad putting all standard lamps on it! I took twin headlamps out of mine, and put satandard lights in..... never found some proper headlamp protectors though

Suspension is on the way but not a massive drop thou wanna stick to Konis, never got on with coilovers..

Mate the fifth wheel is just one of the many twists and turns I've had in this little adventure.. just hope it ends soon!

make your suspension choice wisely.. the car should sit low at the front and slightly higher at the rear

nothing worse than a slammed escos
