It's hot and one boring job, too much precision required. One side done, one to go, yawn. Looking nice though pics soon as if you don't know what it looks like :-)

Half time pizza was nice :thumbsup:

Sanj, just out of interest, who's is the X on your drive?

We all know Jeeg doesn't actually own an X so it can't be his, did you buy a second one for the misses?

Alloy refurb in the summer, my fronts are looking throughly beaten up. Question is whether to go antracite. Bar that other mods are a little too pricey. So maybe a break.

You need a nice set of all black wheel badges (and I have a set.... :poke: ) which I think would look good.

And spacers???? Lol

I got black and white wheels badges :thumbsup: lets see a piccy of the ones you are talking about.

I assume spacer to make the tyres sit further out?

@X5Sport - Thanks, will be when I get the polish out and hide some of the war wounds, looks great from a distance :D Holiday for Sanj, no no no, I'll find something, ahhh there the terminator that needs to be added to the sink in the shed ;) for starters.

That's even more insulting, she don't even notice the arches, just the passenger door and the drivers door when she has to drive (rare).
