Well, First things first. Finally finished the wheels, Sanded all 4 wheels on my DIY Lathe, Then finished them all off with a Polish on the lathe and then a Machine polish afterwards. Shiny! Only fitted 2 to the front, as i only had 3 valves. So waiting on the 4th to arrived, then blue all round!

I know the roof wrap isnt everyones taste. But it certainly looks better than it used to with the severe lacquer peel and the odd patches here and there.

Look, Ginger Bollox approves :lol:

I didn't think that blue would suit the car, but after seeing a wheel on there I prefer it to your current wheels. Looks 8)

And yes, carbon wrap, the perfect mask for blemishes :lol:

I'm going to be wrapping the spoiler on my 405 daily, mainly for a laugh, but also to hide the horrendous lacquer peel. It's just so dam fast that the wind passing over the spoiler rips the paint off :lol:

Looking good Giz, no more lacquer peel :lol:

Blue wheels look interesting not sure myself think its one of those in person it will look better, but as above a blue pinstripe or something would help to tie the colour in abit more.
