im gonna split the rims and polish the lip again, then its the centres 2 be sprayed black and some stretched rubber on them
the interior is gonna have 2 buckets (corbeau forza sports) a 3' wide polished strut brace on the rear, the dash is havin a coating of carbon fibre, the radio panel is being filled with buttons for the wipers and hopefully after the mot im gonna remove the indicator stalk and mount a motorbike style indicator button on my gearknob

What does the bolt head look like? I think they are Torx bolts, if you take a close up picture I can confirm... You can get a full set of Torx heads for your socket wrench from Halfords or similar.

Hmmm, it might be unique to that wheel manufacturer. I have seen some wierd spline type drivers around, they night fit those bolts... We got them from B&Q...
