1 Polished snot rocket ......
Discussion
Went and saw a mate today who has one of those posh angle grinders with buffing pads 
Now me paints not brilliant and was a bit faded , needs claying apparently , but he cut it back polished and waxed the little snot and im surprised at how good it looks 
photos taken with a crap n81 nokia
wow reflection !!!
Now need to decide what colour to respray the wheels
1. Dark Grey
2. Darkish Gold
3. Silver
If any one is a dab hand with photoshop you couldnt do me a pic with the wheels in these colours on this pic ? (only real side on pic i have)
pps for the time being as well it looks like he is staying and wont be going up for sale

Lookin' good! I think your 'phone has done a pretty decent job there tbh
When my BRG panel damage is repaired (if I ever managed to get 3rd party to admit liability!), I'll be looking to get my Mk1 paintwork worked over in similar fashion.
Nice wheels. Watanabes? Think they look great the colour they are

Looks good! I need o machine polish mine too.
As for the wheels - I love the style, but I think they look a bit pants in that dark colour.
On that car - theres an obvious colour for the wheels. Yellow. Trust me, theres a few on clubroadster. They look awesome in yellow! Or maybe with just some yellow detailing/spokes/rim etc

Hmm, I know what you mean (classic Lotus colour combo an' all) but to me that would scream a bit "look at me!", though if that's your scene, then fine! I prefer the rather dark and brooding style personally - I have matt black Rota Slipstreams on mine Personally I like silver wheels on a BRG car but if you want it to be more individual then the colour choice should be yours and yours alone. I've seen pink wheels on a BRG and thought they looked really good but that was on a track car where you'd get less "comments". Light green looks cool too.
How about gloss white? Would take a fair bit of cleaning but white wheels do look good on a dark coloured car.
