Must admit, I thought these sounded a tad expensive, until they arrived that is.

My dad's an engineer & was a bit concerned at the cost, but when he saw them, he said they were good value.

316 grade stainless steel & it looks like a lot of work's gone into them.

Now, if only I had a car to put them on.

It's at Ewelme & I'm desperate to call them & ask how they're getting on, but I don't want to bother them, in case I slow them down (I'm a sad bar steward)

So if anyone go's to Ewelme in the next few days "HOW'S MY CAR ?"

I thought they were expensive too, but must admit, they are the dogs wotsits. Well worth the money.

As good as they are, I just popped to Halfords and picked up a spray can of silver paint that matched my wheels.

Ok, they don't shine, but it makes a suprising difference if your nuts aren't rusty.

£100 for wheel nuts

Sprayed mine this afternoon with manifold paint, then I think a dob of green paint on the nut ends and they should look spiv.

I've earned my reputation as a tight fisted bast*rd over the course of a good many years and I aint about to quit now

I colour coded mine at first, but got pi$$ed off with having to touch them up every time I took a wheel off.
