Honestly Mr Singh, I think you could do them yourself.

i tried doing one wheel and it looks ok, but im not happy with it! where the paint had started to bubble i rubbed it down and filler primered it and it does look better BUT its not great. id much prefer paying some one who know what they are doing

G, i emailed 'the wheel company' in garforth last night with a sample picture of a forfour with the 4 spoke wheels and saying that they had an open design and look very simple to do, unlike some others manufactures. i dont think that they will use much powder to paint them as they think

He wats something to stop him putting miles on his new focus which has covered 16,000 in its first year.

He has a low mileage Toyota Celica as his weekend car but hesitant expensive to tax and run.

my uncle covered 20,000 miles in his first year with his new* civic and now has over 120,000 miles on its back... that aside, like i said it looks like ill be keeping it for a few years now... unless he buy me a new car (of my choice, promise it wont be a daft choice) and pays my insurance ;).
seriously though, have a look on't'ebay, thats where i found mine... and then look elsewhere to see if the SAME car from the SAME dealer is advertiesed elsewhere cheaper, thats how i got mine cheaper than the ebay ad thanks to my dad looking and letting me know while i was in leamington spa before going to view the car in the land of brum.
and to add, the wheels still need refurbing


*it was in 2006 when he bought it and its now 6 years old and drives like a car witl LESS than a 1/4 of the mileage and hasnt spent a thing on it other than servicing, brakes and tyres

I've got one i can be persuaded to part with. sadly it's not in the lovely colour combo mr singh's is. Jealousy galore.

Fox, in the style of the pussycat dolls... dont'ya wish'ya car was just like mine, dont'ya wish'ya car was unique like mine, dont'ya.... ;D hehe... couldnt resist!

An - but my dad doesn't want to put the mileage on it as they swap cars every few years.

Fox - my dad likes the black but also wants panoramic roof and the highest spec he can get. He still needs to sell his Celica ...

And he has no money until then :)

Haha, i still like mine and it's pretty unique already. We're just leaning towards two wheels as a secondary motor... Or third, since I still have a CBR...

The car looks good but the article falls a bit short for my liking. They seem to forget the model line up which starts with the Pure (plus there's other bits).  ::)
