never came across this thread until now!!!

Amazing work... car looks amazing! The white wheels at the end once refurbed are gonna be absolutely spot on for it! The car is too good for those rotas without a doubt! the grille and headlights modernize the front perfectly! Fair play...

My past 3 cars have all been black and have never been happy with the finish or tone of them, but after seeing this should i ever paint a car it is going Pirates!!!

Thanks very much.
Yeah the rotas where kind of bought in a hurry and the fella took another set as trade in but when I look back I could have waited a year or two for the right set as I didn't expect the paint job to take as long as it did.

But on a positive note these where ridiculously cheap, granted they need a refurb, center cap and tyres but I think they are going to look really well once on I just need to decide on paint and get them over for powder coating.

 

[hippyross]

I got the wheels back from powder coating and treated them with cquarts

cleaned up the valves with wire wool

Buffed up the center caps with fast cut, you can see the difference in the bottom one. If still to source one more cap.

And into work yesterday at 10 never stopped till 7.
Lack off pictures due to trying to get as much as possible done.
First off fitting the tyres and trying not to mark them as you had to reverse mount the tyre on the rim meaning i had to clamp the face of the rim in the tyre machine all good tho no damage thankfully, i didnt even want to put balancing weights on lol

While the wheels where of i gave the coilovers a clean and grease up and cleaned up the brake discs and gave then i drop of silver paint and took the front splitter of to fit a new rhino lip as the last one got holes in it from getting the wheel alignment done.

Lastly i fitted a short shifter and new energy bushes, that was fun bolts breaking and crap but got there in the end, gear changes are super short and very precise, will take a bit of getting used to.

Anyway on to pictures i took in the driveway today.
Wheels are Advan Yokohama model 6 16x8 et36 tyres are toyo t1r 205/45/16

Cheers

Loving the colour of the wheels

 

[weeloaney]

Looks awesome and brilliant colour @hippyross

Also reverse mounted tyres are a *******. Have had to work on a few sets like that and so afraid of damaging them

 

[Lee A]

What colour are the wheels ? Look great

 

[hippyross]

@weeloaney loads of silicone spray to get them over the barrel and cloths over the bita that clamp the wheel, I had a sweat on with the first one.

I'm not sure @Lee A ask your mate that done them lol

 

[Lyons]

Not sure how I missed this thread .

I do love a VTi-S in Pirates Black, the work gone in to bringing this up to such a standard is commendable.

Love the new wheels and colour too.

What happened to front splitter? Personally i prefer it without the very lowest lip.

 

[Marc]

Lovey car! Looks the part alright!

It was in getting the wheel alignment a while ago and when it was drove up onto the ramp it got ripped and two holes either side, if also it off to put a bit of foam tape round the top if it where it meets the bumper to stop it rubbing.

When you message your tuner drunk watching PFI speed and ask for 350hp and he delivers
