Have been wanting to do something with the wheels for ages, and finally got around to having them painted in graphite grey. I had considered black, but I think once the tyres go a little grey, it looks odd, so stuck to my original plan. The car was also detailed by a friend of mine on Sunday, and the paintwork look better than new again...

Nice work, can you ask your mate what he used on the exhaust for me please.

Thankyou! The tail pipes are down to me really. I have a thing about keeping them clean, so I always give them a quick going over with a polish like Autoglym Super Resin, or if they've not been done for a while, some brasso cloth stuff.

Tunstad... yeah, fog lights are out in the pic, because the glass in both shattered after a motorway trip a few weeks ago. I suspect it was a gritter I passed on the way. Stupid gritters. Think I might just leave them out really, as they don't have much use anyway.

Tempy... Painting was about £350 I think, and that was for 5 alloys, one of which I know have as a spare in the right colour.
