Yeah, I want to do lettering black. I'm unsure how to do this, as don't have a steady hand at all!

For now
It's nice to have it clean, so can at least store it in house again haha

Get some little modelling brushes. They're so small you don't need a steady hand. Alternatively you could just mask around the letters, but that could take a while.

Look great. I would have stuck new bleed nipples on though to give them a more "fresh" look.

Haha, yeah Lemass done it.

That tyre was damaged by the bitch that crashed into me and forced me into the kerb. That's the only damage to tyre though, and it's being replaced when I eventually fit new coilovers and have tracking done.

No, wheel not clean it's been sat outside and not moved for around 10 weeks. So it's very much dirty

Didn't realise Gold fronts were adjusted from the bottom for rebound. Bit more awkward than on the top! Still look awesome though

Thought that originally, but I think I could probably adjust with just turning wheels on full lock and reaching around
