White will look much better, you'll see the lines of the car much better too!
White with white alloys go very well

 

another photo of the escort, forgot to add it on last post


i had a go at re-trimming a xr3 seat with the carpet stuff, it could have been better plus the glue wasnt sticking on some bits


excuse the picture quality... looks kind of real

Bleeding post office near me wanted Ł28, to send a package to Germany!
The post office in town did it for Ł10.
What do you think of these wheels for the Golf?

im not keen on the wheels,i think there is so much beta to chose from,
not a dig mate its jus a opinion

These are the best one's i've got. lol.
Might have to buy some.

i like those, though id sand off the merc logo and fill the little AMG bit and paint them black or something, look kinda like comp 5 spokes..kinda lol
ill have a look see if i have anything better for you though

i just rinse it off in the sink, any bits that are stuck on i use an abrasive brush, its like a toothbrush but with copper wire bristles for the little gaps

They look realy nice, would suit any model. The tyres are plastic rather than rubber. However, they are rather large. 60mm wide (52mm wheel & 8mm tyre) & 25mm deep.

If anybody wants them, let me know.

 

i reckon those wheels you ewere going to send me would look better if they do dont worry we will come to another deal

 

i think u got a peanut butter addiction lol!!!!

 

Tryed them the other day, anyway there packed up now.
Great for when am out riding, but yeah I am a bit.

 

im gutted, just painted the windowseals on my lexus perfectly and took the masking tape off and ONE tiny little chip of paints come off got the fine paint brush out and touching it in now, hopefully after some 1200 and another clear coat it should look okay..

 

Mentalistdave you have a PM mate

 

at that size they appear to be for a 1:10 scale rc car, my tamiya rims are that size..

 

sorted m8

 

my misis loves them too lol!!!
what kinda ridding??

 

Mountain biking, Just getting back into it after a few months off.

 

can someone help me i want to know how to deep dish these wheels how do you all do it what stuff do i need do make them cheers.

 

you have to sacrifice another set of wheels to make them.
although model motorvations on ebay sell deep dish rs4 spokes for a very good price , saves you making a mess

 

so who got stripped up by alan then?
i almost sent him Ł50.00 for a couple of his models but had i think about it as i am still waiting for a set of tyres he owes me from about 6 months ago

 

i did but not as bad as colin did..

i sold him an evo, and foolishly sent him it before him paying (said ill pay at the weekend etc)
weeks later i got in touch and said he'd give me the money or the car back, then i find the car on ebay (which sold for double for what he was meant to pay me, so he could have there and then!) and eventually agreed to giving me another car in return, which suprise suprise hasnt turned up.
just glad i didnt fork out big money like others have.

 

Sorry to read you've been scammed fella's.
