Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily - Part1
Re: Nimminz' GLT
Decided i'm e furbishing the wheels again to White. Probably go for some Pearlescent colour.
Coil to buy tomorrow too.
Also thinking of a silver pinstripe down the side of the car, just under the swage line and possibly something where it meets the c pllar, will have a play on photoshop
white wheels:
thanks for looking, comments more than welcome!!

Re: Nimminz' GLT
Loving the sticker choices lad! Wheels look good, slightly more silver than white, must be the lighting.
Keep the pics coming

Re: Nimminz' GLT
Ok so got all 4 corners white now, did go do a photoshoot but the camera card is still in the car and I aint going to get it now!
Also got a pinstripe for the car in silver, chose the one that looked most like what i've seen on 700's and i think i've seen similar on 300's
Pics:
Opinions welcome.
Will get better photos uploaded tomorrow and possibly a couple more mods

Re: Nimminz' GLT
I like it a lot. Mines got a pinstripe, black. Where did you get yours from, Need to restore some of the panels on mine, which would involve the destroying of said stripe. Might actually do it now that I know they're available!

Re: Nimminz' GLT
cheers! I actually got it from halfords, just less than a fiver for that one. They do black ones too and in lots of styles, you get 10 metres and its just enough if you leave gaps for the badges, well could possibly JUST make it if you worked it out perfectly but it is best to let them curve round the edges of the panels. Also the boot lock, mine goes over that by about 2mm, had to trim it with a scalpel to get it to stick down properly.
i was tempted by one like this
but they only had black and it was more expensive
