My new wheels. No fitted yet just don't know what colour to paint them. Either White, Silver or dark grey? What do you guys think?





Sorry pics were taken on phone.

roof off back in build interior test paint


shell painted fittings going back on awaiting doors






the all important licence plate

doors even a roof tonneau but the wtong wheels


tonneaus not the greatest but the one on the car on the tv wasnt either
