Well ermmmm heres a change decided to change the colour of my brand new Mo's Took my old mans advice and painted them goldish.. its look alot more gold in real life as the picture wont capture the flakes
What you think.. I know its not to every bodys taste but wanted it to stand out abit more as everyone has anthracite and satin black etc

good to see you try something different mate , i know what you mean by everyone having the same mods. makes a lot of the modded cars look the same, which i think defeats the purpose of modding a car
perhaps the gold comes out more in sunlight?

Some colours do not come out well in pics. But beige?? BBS does a gold paint that would have been the best!

In person the colour looks great against the black.. The camera does not pick the colour out properly that's why it looks crappy yellow
yh that's a true point Vic everyone does the same mods so does defeat the purpose so now I have my own touch on it

Thanks mate its diffrent
yh it appears so i was having issues clearing my front caliper so i had to use a 3mm spacer and then the caliper was still catching on a section of the wheel and today i put another wheel on with no spacer as i forgot and hey prest it cleared the caliper.. I then putthe driver side on and again cleared but then i put the faulty one on and it was catching bad without the spacer and even so with the 3mm.. So im puting it down to a faulty wheel

ah thats not too bad then, at least your not stuck with three wheels.
mine is in bits again, got my next race at brands hatch in a month, which is my local circuit so doing a few mods to make sure all is ok for it, modding my rear beam and having a fuel swirl pot made, making the swirl pot so it goes in place of the pipe that goes between tank and pump and dropping the pump down slightly, keeping it nice and simple
