I think I've inadvertently Gulzar'd my car. Not sure ive done the right thing here.
Mate I absolutely love that! lovely tint of gold on the wheels...not too much and quite subtle! If anything ....... change the colour of the car to black, not the rims lol. Lovely to be different! 99% of the cars on the road have chrome - why not be different! Do the trims aswell lol. Where did you get the rims painted? And what colour code did you use/ask for? I'd be interested in doing my next day a slightly more subtle gold as its much easier than chrome gold.
Ref the rest of the trim, I'm not that brave. Already im in the dog house at home so friday the wheels are going back in for a colour revision.
P.s, love your work.

What if your vehicle is written off?
If your vehicle is written off, you can still apply to transfer or retain its registration number as long as:
• the vehicle is available to be inspected (we may also ask for an insurer’s engineers report); and
• you can meet all the conditions of the transfer or retention schemes.
Important – if you want to transfer or retain the registration number you must make sure your insurers know that the vehicle must be made available for us to inspect. If your insurers settle your claim and sell the vehicle as salvage before the registration number is properly transferred or retained, it will pass with the vehicle to the new keeper and you will lose your right.
Once you have successfully transferred or retained your registration number from the written off vehicle, let your insurers know about the change of registration number and send them the replacement V5C. If your insurers intend to sell the write off as salvage, the vehicle must display the replacement registration number.

Like I said, this is a discussion forum where people have differing opinions. Don't get too upset when someone has a different one to you - life can be cruel at times.
I stand by my point though - a lad "pimping" a Corsa would get no end of abuse on here.
Basically, if you can't think of something nice to say, don't say it. Even if you have negative comments, form them in a way that doesn't offend, and where you don't come across as being a dick. Saying that "life is cruel" doesn't make it better, either. - I don't know him.

Personally I think this car is ghastly, but I'm pleased I can live in a world where someone with tastes I consider awful can enjoy it. In fact, I hope Gulzar keeps making these ghastly creations because they clearly make him happy. Provided I don't have to look at them in bright sunshine, that is.

Luckily Gulzar lives in England, so the chances of his car blinding me as I drive past are nil, as it will be cloudy or foggy.
On another note, it does beg the question of whether or not our conception of good taste regarding cars is a little bit stifled. My mountain bike is chrome blue, my snowboards are all lurid colours, and my surfboard is a variety of colours. In contrast, my car is a subdued blue.
They are metal forms of transportation, you don't have to look at the outside when you are driving, and its not like you are trying to relax in your living room where having neutral shades of cream is pleasant. I would argue its quite nice to see cars of varying colours.
There should be more cars that are lurid colours, like the focus RS in green, or pearlescent like some of the later TVR's were.
I'm bored of seeing various shades of grey and silver when driving. Something gulzarish would at least spice up your day, even if the reflection off his car caused temporary blindness.

What have you done to your wheels?
Did they go black or stay Gold or something else?
