Look alright though

Every shitty chav in their shitty 1.1L 106's with lexarse lights, 'universal' backbox and badboy' wheel trims seems to want to race me

rev your engine a little, and look at them, they will think oooow fun, then just turn of left

pisses most of them of tbh

I do a lot of motorway miles and it's usually on the downhill bits of motorways, 5 little cunts grinning at you

40-60, yes & yea, do it

Someone just asked me through u2u so i'll copy it over

The alloys i sanded the paint off them, filled in the kerbed bits sanded this right down so you can see metal and filler where the metal was kerbed then i gave them 3 coats of primer, I just used grey primer, you can get away with 2 coats, but gave them 15 mins after each coating, then once i applied the primer i simply resprayed them in 3 coats of black in 15 min intervals and then did 3 coats of lacquer, tip, i heated the bottle of lacquer up, APPARENTLY it gives a better finish, mine was spot on so i'd put it under the tap for a bit... DONT FORGET- put tape on the tyres and put tape on all the tyre i didn't thus i have spray lines on my tyres where the wind caught the spray

Fuck the weather did mine in the rain.

only time they got wet was with the primer and if you use fine grit paper to smooth the bubles out it will look bob on.. Also did the filling in my house, got high with Bob Marley though !!

Yes, heat the laquer up using a heat gun or something, else it leaves white marks. I did all 4 wheels on my old corsa.
