'Refurbed' another wheel today and used some leftover paint that is the same colour as my car, paint went dull as i rushed it but it was just to get an idea and not the final product. What do you think?
I think it will look awesome with the green as long as i can get it deep metallic like my car used to be lol

Thankies! Shouldn't be a problem.... :glare:
I still think a nice deep gold or bronze would work well against the green met. There would be lots I'd do before painting them body colour, but if you like, then thats the way forward.
And sorry about the runs, me and paint aren't the best of friends. Why do you think I'm a fan of satin black. Helps hide a distinct lack of talent every time.

metalic gold centre with matt black rim would look good on your green imo, it's what I was going to do but tad too flashy for me. Have you thought about a satin cream rim for something even more out of the ordinary?

thought you'd post that one up mark, does look good though.

Sorry, only what I've visualized in my head
I do like the colour-coded wheels, they're nice and subtle and a nice change from black. But I think you can pull of a few other colour schemes if your feeling adventerous.

Madness.... Driving me crazy with all these colour/tyre options. one way or another though they should be on the car in 20 days!
just checked out your whole thread here, lovely stuff! you're work seems very considered - if a little spontaneous at times (i.e. your black paint blitz ) i would like to ask, did those pioneer components fit straight in without any spacers required??? i likes the look of them - did you look into getting the a-pillars with tweeter mounts built in? or are they pants??? looking forward to seeing more - Martin

would like the tweeter A pillars but don't think i would be able to fit these one into them so will custom built a spot on the dash in future nothing wrong with a bit of black paint
good to see your not far from us when we have a meet or whatever
Oh and didn't need any spacers for the speakers.

Have you considered 155/65s? They are alot cheaper and easily available, it's what I may go for if I can't find any cheap 165/55s.
There's a few singles and maybe a couple of pairs of part worn 165/55's on the bay at the moment.

think i will stick with 165/55 however... my regular tyre place is offering nankangs at £47 each including balancing and fitting which is a bit steep for me. so it might have to be part worns which they normally stock loads of!
i would prefer new tyres just so they last longer we will just have to wait and see how much the other Mr.T takes off me this month

Also. The super s has come to the end of modification. i really don't think it would be wise to keep messing around with a 134k mile engine without some serious looking at it. so will be nothing more than my daily driver. that means all extra funds etc can go towards my new found project above and hopefully we'll be scrapin' in no time!
