As mighty fine examples of wheel painting they may be, it may surprise you all, before I'm deluged with requests as to where did this work, to know these shocking flourescent wheels were in fact completed by my fair hand laugh

So these,

coupled with these new set of Federal RS-R's,

should see me away from any armcos at Spa.

Now just the brakes to arrive.

Game on driving

shocked

Your garden looks like something out of Willy Wonker's chocolate factory.

So are you having one colour each side or front/back?

Ps

Dan I've had a chance to talk to the wife and discuss the empty seat. As much as I would love to go, I just have too much on for the next two weeks.

Many thanks for the offer though. thumb

If would have been a blast especially with those wheels.

PS when are we having our tats done?

Not sure, thinking one colour to one side, but it'd be nice to be able to identify which tyre is where, so I think pink on the front and yellows on the rear?

Ah that's a shame Tony frown
So, still a seat spare for Spa, everyone's bailing out.
Tats when I get back?

Lol chaps, they're meant to be yellow. My 6 year old daughter says they're green too.

Guess that's what to expect when you don't prime what were black rims beforehand. Still, I've got the effect for the weekend for sure, i.e loud and proud smile

Quite why Fiat never made the Coupe available with these wheel colour choices astounds me...

That's not my old car is it, Dan??? It's got feelings, you know!

I demand that you look after it properly, take those awful things off and put some decent rims back on.

I'm sure there was a clause in the sale contract that said you wouldn't embarrass the poor thing in public.

Spa specials Dave. The gold calipers are RIP now.

And despite what James says, I know for a start he'd be only too keen to swap them for his plus alloys after Spa smile
