quite good, really good finish and have the ability to0 take tyres on and off for you too

i had a set of oz super t's painted rather than powder coated and were fine

powder coated is just abit more durable than painted

*Update*

hubs were looking very sorry for themselves so got the old paint out to give them a quick once over this weekend



wheels off and marsked off




painted silver, as original, might well be changing to black



Engine cover cut up hated the engine without the cover on so set about chopping it up

before



both parts apart and old panel filter out


both chopped down


on the car


Also changed a jubilee for the vw clamp as was difficult to propperly tighten the jubilee once in place


Bodywork

Car has gone in for the repair work from when someone reversed into me repairing lol
not a great deal and some may say im being picky but i want it 100% and it wasnt

this is the damage




should have the car back today win

I think you picked a nice red Liver. I personally wouldn't have the balls to do any of my wheels red, but it's sortof an OEM ++ look which is niche, but not brash  :happy2:

Against the calipers it shows how mature and dark the red colour of the Lambos actually is. Maybe consider doing the calipers blue now?  :wink:
I'm still very keen on your rear VW badge which I'm nearly at the stage of doing. I think it's a must for us Steel Grey owners  :congrats:

cheers mate, really really pleased with the colour, the more i see it the more i love it. Might consider doing the calipers either bodywork colour or black, dont want too many colour goin on.

Yeah thats the second one ive done, due to somebody liking it that much they decided they had to have it
