Christmas wrapping...wheels

[AutoAndy]

Couldn't afford wheel refurbishment at £70 a corner, so had some fun trying a temporary solution for £5 per corner to hide the poor interior and distract from the curbed rims....I'm sure you will hate it....but I like it.....for now.










...I will monitor how will this cheap plastic lasts this summer....before going for something really garish....

Nice idea for a budget refurb, interesting to see how well it lasts ?



Colour wise, it's getting too "Lotusie" for me, but it's your car! ...

I think you've done a brilliant job there. Wonder how long they'll last. - may need a spray of lacquer to stop the edges from lifting

Clever But what happened the last time you had plastic on your wheels?

I agree, looks very nice and suits the Norfolk camouflage scheme of rape and kale green.
Andy, you deserve a Blue Peter badge for your sticky-backed plastic efforts. Or, if you prefer, I could ask Jim to fix it for you!

Top Tip:
To get a better edge seal around the wheelnut recesses, hot freshly boiled eggs are just the job!

Simples!
If you keep reheating it, one egg is un oeuf.

Does anyone remember that thing about somebody who said "I am curious: yellow."?

Really good job!

Was that ordinary wrapping material?

[Tarmac Tickler]

Looks a very neat job, well done.
All the rest of us need to remember is that other colours are available..........

[glenrobbo]

Yep, you can even get a lovely Laura Ashley floral print amongst other patterns.

I think they also even do a chrome film. Smokin'!

I think they look great
Not sure how long they will last

They would suit Porsches.

As the song goes: "I'm busy making plans for Nigel"...





I think that's a wrap!
