Xr2 looks cool matt! Ever thought of putting a lighter under a tyre so it melts a little, then quickly putting it against a flat surface to make it look flat? Just a thought. Unless it would catch fire, possibly a heat gun??

Thats my little touch

Or use a blade to cut the bottoms off, then superglue the wheels in place....

Will get some decent pics up at some point

I like the xr3i the best , xr2 i didnt mean to ruin, but accidentally did. so... yeah, its now being 'barn found' lol....



Thanks for the comments people... even though this aint my thread lol
