Decided to Colour Code my side strips. I want to do my front and back bump strips eventually but there is a few other bumps and scuffs I'm going to sort first.

Yer got all the sand paper, paint, primer and lacquer from halfords. It wasn't too difficult really just had to be really patient (something I'm not too good at.).

Cheers and yer my wheels do stick out. They weren't my choice of alloys I just got offered them for £25 with 2 very good tyres and 2 average tyres and as I needed 2 tyres for my steelies I couldn't say no. They came off a 306 so I thought they would be a nice fit. I'm not sure on the legality of it but it passed it's MOT and it causes no problems with rubbing.

Yer, I did it over 3 days and still needed to use the car for work so it made more sense to remove them.
