Dude a trick for the bird crap, hot air gun and heat it up and watch it disappear. If you have polished or waxed it however it might not come out properly.

The paints pretty much beat. Theres 'shaddows' where longstanding bird pap has left a mark. and laquer peel/fading in a few places so just getting the actual crusts off'll do me.
I'd do a satin blowover if it wasnt so wanabe drifter passe.

The exterior may not be the best.
But the inside is now almost as impressive as the performance! :D

still to come:
A few 8 balls to keep away the bad luck. Gear knob etc.
Tinted rear clusters because I like how they look.
Deep dish suede wheel and bossy boss to go on for comfort purposes.
Er, maybe a 2.3?

340pw Welcome to the 360 fold mate!

Looks a good 'un.

[bandwagon/]Take the wheels back to Halfords[/bandwagon] I can see why they were bought though, cheap tyres FTW. Don't do much for me though!

Now get that 240!

Here man, daft c*nt. Me wheels cost more than ya car man. ooot me ma's catalouge, neee bother. Propppppppppppppppppppper beltaz!
*disengage chav mode*

Its getting a bit tired people pointing out the obvious.
Agreed, they are not good wheels.
But they match. And they are on good rubber.
The set that chris kindly supplied had a lot of inside wear on one corner due to arb thingy play.
Nascar to the left ftl.
So i wanted summat on asap and cheap and local.
Not classy, but three ticks non the less.

That's why cleaners get paid so little - it's all the perks they get ;)
