yea, did them myself, got tyres taken off and refitted as well, so there was no masking up, in total including materials it was around £70?

Done in Rover Gunmetal grey.

That was one of my worries, just if they look dirty all the time, but I'm very happy with how they turned out.

Thanks for the comments guys, and the original photoshop John!

Oh he will, not sure about the grey colour.

Mine were silver before, were fine, as soon as i did them gloss black, feck me its hard to keep them clean, especially the front ones with brake dust etc. Look mint when clean though!

anthracite is a great colour as u will be suprised how dirty they are when you wash the car but they never look dirty when you look at them, they just loose the shine

no worries matey, im glad i could help make u decide, just got a 60mm kit on order and you will b sorted

60mm is too far with the roads round here, maybe 40mm will do, but just need my student loan to pay for it!

Problem being I only applied last week, so won't get it until january.
