Talking I've quite shocked myself

I actually managed to do something to my car - myself

I think it looks so much better!

Cheers Chris

The wheels were really expensive to do........

Peugeot Graphite Grey paint - 4 small cans = £12
Halfords filler primer - 1 can = £6
Halfords Lacquer - 1 can = £6
Stickers - 4 prodrive = £3
Sanding bits n bobs = say £3

Blimey how can I tell the wife I've blown another £30 on the car

I see you have good choice in the rubber you wrap round these wheels too.
I have only just this weekend converted a true connoseuir in wheel refurb to similar future choices. Aye Stuey AKA 53wrx

Does look a lot better.
As for the telling the wife I'm waiting to tell mine I've just spent just short of a grand having the car painted, she keeps hinting and asking how much it was but for some reaons my selective hearing kicks in everytime......
