Awkward cause I'm not painting the lip so should really mask that up lol. May get the others done tomorrow

Local meet tonight. (MFN)

Why thankyou sir

Searching wheel colours via house of kolor and specialists paints. To many to choose from.

But then I stumbled across these on Instagram!

I expect there out of my range but I've got ask

Avantgarde F230's

 

They get my vote

 

I think they'd suit the black paintwork a lot better - nice deep, dark colour.

I have a feeling they're going to be expensive lol

18" costs around $1,115.00 per wheel as new...

9x19's I'd be after.

There deffo out the question then lol, back to the drawing board.

Stripped the interior of it's poop silver trim today as swmbo's last words were to "not sit slobbing out in front of the tv"

It's getting flocked as a mate does it for a living.

Drop it all off this week hopefully.

How did you remove the trims, I've been considering wrapping mine but not wanted to break the clips. Do they just pop off?

They can be wrapped in situ so I hear, the ones round the steering column/headlight switch pop out as does the stereo surround, the one above the glovebox is held in by 3 torx screws from behind so the box needs to come out. The door cards need to come off for those as there plastic welded rivets and they have to be broken/chiseled off to remove them. Glue or tiger seal will be used to re fix them.

Hope that's of some help.

That's a massive help thanks.

Just seen your car on the almera ownersclub forum!

Had to create an account to view it lol.

Got some good pics

Sitting at home bored and having the car on the drive is not a brilliant mix, meant I had time to mess about

Firstly fitted the reverse camera I've had sat in the glove box for months. Still not got a decent double din up front but at least it's a job done ready

Also tried the de spoilered look. It's back on at the minute as the tailgate needs painting where the spoilers been sat.

Today's entertainment.

Looks a lot better without and it all ties into my plans for smoothness

Also decided the wheels are going, will be swapped for something a bit more fruity

For me I think the no spoiler look will depend on wheel choice. Looking well though looks like you're making all the right decisions!

Wheels will be

9.5x18 et38 front to keep them sat the same as they are now.

9.5x18 et20 rear which will give a flusher fit to what's on now.

Colour will be the same as the ones pictured but the flip colours will be a bit different

Calipers now black, No more vrs green.

Got bored!.....this happened.

Only 1 coat applied at the minute, I'll finish them later today.
