dstyrrell 0 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 i think they look cool mate, i really like the original wheels which is why i had mine powder coated and treated them to some new yokos, have you thought about having them chromed ? Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 chromed would be good, but im trying to do it on a budget, and for what it costs to get them chromed, could be a new set.jim Link to post Share on other sites

jaysVR6 2 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Oh mate, I bet you get annoyed with them after a while! That will take forever to get a mirror finnish all over those bad boys!I bought a Frost mop kit and did my old A3 rims, and they had flat faces on them. It's a great kit for doing things like inlets and rocker covers but intricate stuff like that will take alot more than £10 in your own time! A decent Frost mop kit is around £40 from what I can remember.Good luck mate Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 hmm frot mop kit!!! ill look into that. it is taking ages, but im in no rush to get them on thecar. so far ive got most of the stuff from b and q and machine mart.ill update the thread later on during the week.jim Link to post Share on other sites
