So gutted you had the Mitsy alloys nicked....but the Supra alloys are awesome.
I'm gonna stick my neck out here and say......go for all white! I reckon that would rock against the red with black arches.

I hadn't tied all this together with the alloys stolen - gutted for you. You're really making sure this excellent (and well known here) little ride has your stamp all over it...... The Supra alloys are a fantastic substitute...... colour choice would be my undoing - but if money is tight - polish the bejeezus out of 'em for now and play with the p-shop Smart move with the arches too - they really suit it. Good luck with it - hopefully it's making RR2010 so we can drool

New stuff... Figure the rust on the car was getting a bit bad so thought I would patch up some bits... First the door: Filled up after a good rub down Sand it back to smooth things off Serious make-shift masking but hey i'm broke And POW!!! A few coats (emptied the can) and a not bad look. Unfortunately not exactly the same colour (bought a can of what I figured was the colour but obviously not) but ney bother as I want to re-spray the whole car at some point anyway. Not full coverage over the primer but OK for now Here is some group shots of the fleet to celebrate More to come tomorrow....Wheels time (painting that is)

Yeah Carl I think you might be right As soon as the rusty bits are sorted near enough I will try and save some cash to buy the paint. A lot of folk have suggested gold but i'm not sure...Will have a try though

Nice day outside so i'll do stuff on the car take 2: Wheels: Figured painting them white due to having a lot of white primer (from painting my Sera), i'd try and have a look at what they look like... Very nice was the reply. but maybe with a little black mmmmmmmmm.....contrast!!! only had a little gloss black so will mask the other 3 this week and get them painted...I quite like it

OK now since my mishap with wheel being stolen I have been weighing up my options for rims with the zero monies I have at the moment. And low and behold a miracle happened. i wouldn't say i'm god gav, but its very nice of you to suggest it looking good by the way

They're gonna look damn awesome *edit. I reckon these fins: you could gently sand the black off to expose the white. Also, id have the Inner spokes (the thin ones inside the 'U' shapes) as white. But thats just my 2p

Right new stuff Rear arches had to be cut to accommodate the new rims so off to Carl's it was Started to cut up the arches Trial fit to see if it fouled the tyres (which I had put on from the rears of the Stag alloys, 175 50 14's which give it a nice bit of stretch) They still rubbed so off with some more metal it was and quite some time later and a plastic trim fitted Then it was to the other side we go to cut The other side took far less time to do and was a neater job aswell. The result: Very happy with the result. Just have a little fettling to do to tidy it up and to buy two tyres for the front then the front trims can go on too...
