Yep, all my own work - only takes hours & hours & hours of work with the finest materials and bingo - one set of mint LE wheels! (I've bought new centre caps too).

I prefer the style of the standard 20VT wheel, but felt that if I was putting another set of wheels on my Plus while the original wheels were being refurbed they should be in some way a little bit 'special', so LE wheels it was. Plus wheels will go back on as soon as they're done though (in silver) smile

Agree with you changing the wheels over - the Plus wheels just are not very pleasing to the eye - in fact they are a little ugly (in my humble opinion).
ooo

In my honest opinion...

I liked it more with the standard wheels and grill box

If you like it thats all that matters.

I think it looks great and has given me inspiration for my 'standard' inky 20vt smile never been that keen on plus wheels myself, too fussy in the detailing but each to their own smile

'The cars nothing compared to the shine on my shoes.'

I'm spraying the grill black this evening, after discussion with fellow fc'ers, I think it may well make it even more stealthy, so, I'll' give it a go and see how she looks
