Looking good there Mervy..... Hmmm I know we spoke about the wheels but I am going to have to say to leave them gold, it's growing on me more everytime I see the pictures and even more so when I seen the car. I'll get a pint of my degreaser ready for you as well to bring to the next meet if you wish? Plus some tar remover.
Yes I defo like the wheels in gold Merv they add colour to the car which is a great contrast to white

Cheers Si 
I'm swaying towards keeping them gold too even though they're not the original wheels, it looks original but with a twist, if you know what I mean! If my brakes fitted under OEM wheels then I'd have them

Looks tidy, did you get it trimmed yourself and if so do you mind telling how much - mine is looking a bit shiny and I need to decide whether to replace or retrim
