Amen brother :D

Just take it easy now, far too many people crash in the year or two after passing the test. It's rather different not having a passenger as a second pair of eyes.

Ok, back on topic for a while-

Snagged some sweet BMW Mini 15 inch steelies.
Pretty much brand spanking new.
Four unused michelin tyres.
I make a happy face.

I was planning on painting them black, but it would be a shame to waste the correct centres, which are silver too.:

Image

So, Ive sort of decided to Volvo the centres up a bit:

Image

.................... and just run them silver. Fook it.

Phsical Photoshop coming up:

Image
Please note the retarded girlfriend hiding on the passanger side.......... *rolls eyes*

Image

So think I'll fit them tomorrow it it stays not very rainy otside.

Comments please gentlemen?
Go with black and bin the centres, or run them silver, and volvo up the silver centres?

Cheers dude.
Dont think paint would take too well to the plastic centres Will.
Itd just chip and peel straight away I recon.

Unless someone out there knows more about painting plastic than me?
Anyone?

Good call Will.
Cheers man.
I'll get some tomorrow and run a test on one.
Wheels arnt due for paint till tues, so theres plenty of time to experiment on the centres.
