Following this thread (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17431)and a couple of graffiti artists last night, not mentioning any names *cough Gly cough bradc* I have decided to relocate myself from my sick bed to outside cleaning the car...and here are the results!

I think dark grey or black would look much better. Congrats on a good job Uc.

It's abit dark ATM so I'll get some up sometime soon.
Now hopefully the discs/hubs will now meet your standards! :P

oh and this is why you should never let Bradc jack up your car.

ahh so thats what happened. I knew I wasn't quite there - in my defense it was dark and I couldn't see a thing.

I'm sure we'll be keen to see the freshly painted hubs, get them up tomorrow morning

Only time will tell...:thinking:

but it does make quite a big difference for not a lot of effort - especially with your wheels and brakes drawing attention to them.

As for Bradc/pan .. i'm going to assume its part of some plan to reduce underbody drag and increase fuel efficiency... I'll wait to see if its fully successful before giving it a go myself.:scholar: /notworthy

Here are the pics to prove how dark it was, and how dirty Uc's car was

What do you think of these 17x9.5 mags? I'm gonna get them :)

I showed those pics to my mum, at first she looked like :inquisiti then she said thats strange for Uc to have his car that dirty, he's normally really good at keeping his car clean, she is impressed with todays results though.

/haz ..it took 2 buckets just to get most of that tree crap off the back.
I'm pretty impressed with my camera angles. :)

Don't like them myself. My mate hade those on his GTIR before getting TSW Blades (not much better).

There is somehing about these cars and single tone alloys that just doesn't sit right with me. I like Silver and Black or just plain white a-la oz racing.

Keep looking IMHO. Konig make some primo two tones in 5 stud.

I don't like them in white at all, I was going to get them painted gun metal grey. I don't like the Konig ones, they weigh a ton!
