Since posting my refurb progress on facebook, people keep asking me if I will respray their alloys >< Hell no! Taken 2 ti 3 hours prepping each wheel before any spraying, and I'm still not happy with it so they will be going to powdercoaters soon

The tempests were on ebay for a week with no bids, and suicidalsoldi3r dibbed them afterwards
The only thing that might pry me from my nimrods would be 17" oz supertourismos lol

Thanks guys
Some idiot hit my wing mirror and didn't stop, so I have been painting them pearlescent black and I'm going up my mates later to get a couple bits of 3m carbon wrap from him, if I'm going to tart them up I might as well 180ify them
I've noticed that whoever powdercoated my Nimrods didn't match the wheels very well, so they will be getting done by City soon enough because their anthracite colour is lovely, when the tread wears low enough to warrant new tyres anyway. The valeting business has done well this week, and when I pass my course for my main career in February I should have more funds to play with on the car. For now I'm just saving

It turns out I cannot carbon wrap for all the tea in china, so I painted the caps Rover Gunmetal, main wing mirror is Java black which has nice red/orange pearl flake in it in sunlight
