I'd go gloss black, simply because it looked awesome on those nimmies. Then again, Bugawuga from the old site went with a Moonstone/White combo and that looks/looked really nice as well.

Yeh I think I'm gunna go with the Gloss Black with these wheels.
I'm going to be getting custom centre gel badges made.
I'm having a gloss black background with a moonstone blue peugeot lion 'outline' and then having SWGT at an angle running across the centre of the badge with the SW in silver and the GT in red and in exactly the same font as the badges.
Getting a design done and then if it looks good I'm gunna get them made up

I'm not going to get the vinyl done tbh as I know I get bored of looking at it and I'm sure people would draw all over it if they got the chance especially with it having nude women with there titys out (childish people in Evesham) so instead I'm spending the money on a bonnet bra as I want to keep the bonnet from gettting stone chips and I drive alot.

As far as the wheel nuts are concerned, i was always told it was 1.5 times the diameter, so if it was 10mm bolt/stud, you'd need 15mm of thread doing something, i had the same problem on my old fiesta, i checked the torque regularly and they were fine.

When I took the bolts back out of the spacer that were holding the wheels and it was literally 5mm off thread that wasn't going in. It was just lucky I had those 5mm shims and they worked perfectly.

Dan your gunna have a hard time tryna rob the bumper seeing as it's in my room under lock and key 24hrs a day unless I get it out to do something like earlier :L
I think the Gloss Black is a definate just need to chose a colour for the four pots as the drums are going black.
I'm getting it into the bodyshop asap as I only got told I had 2 months till FCS 
The roof lining and a pillars being done this weekend and back into the car before it goes off.
I've also got a set of wheels lined up for this car...split rims is all im saying. Oh and they're 16s

These cost me £60 but they sell for over £250 quid. Ecosse used to stock them but when I checked last they only had one set left. They aren't available anymore so I very much doubt anywheres got a set.

Why don't you get the bonnet wrapped (like the new mini's are quite often)? Maybe be less 'in your face' than a bonnet bra!

Looks awesome mate. I was slightly dubious about the mass of leather in there, but its looking pretty good! You should do leather door interior as a little side job, I bet there'd be a few people who'd want some doing.

there's not alot of leather just the seats and doorcards. Roof lining and A+B pillar covers are being done in Suede. I was thinking about doing the doorcards in leather and suede as I'll have load of material left over after I've finished trimming all the stuff of my car.
I did ask on here about leather doorcards and glovebox door before the site went down and everyone were saying that it'd be too expensive so I'm not going to bother and keep the material just incase I fancy a change or come up with an idea.
