winter mode

[tony mc]

now then, just thought i show you lot my plastidip winter wheels, first time i've used it and must say i'm pretty happy with the result, these s line 18's needed a refurb but also serve as my winter now so i thought i'd rubber them up for the winter, it should look after them over the winter and i can take it off if i get sick of the look.

i'm going to take my mirrors off as well put my standard ones on and go darker for the winter,

winter stealth mode lol.

looks a lot better then mine in winter mode,

my little girl saw them yesterday for the first time and was like "daddy what are those?" in a disgusted tone, which I thought was quite funny.

 

[tony mc]

awww, mate i feel your pain,

i'd have to get some proper nasty trims for them, just for the crack lol

on a side note how have you had the chrome blacked out, is it wrap or paint ?

 

[Steaudi]

Yeah I was thinking that to, something really retro, or them teddy bear wheel trims ha

The car came like that, it's a special edition, but there's a few guys on here who have wrapped them with really good results mate

Wow, think your little girl said it all! I just got myself a spare set of exactly matching alloys (so as to avoid insurance hike for non standard alloys) for my winters to live on.

I think my insurance would come down, because theifs wouldn't touch those steelies ha

morning all, finished putting the car in winter mode over the weekend, wrapped the chrome and put my black mirrors back on to keep the nasty salt away, but at the same time seeing if i like the de chrome look. and so far i must say i do, may have to make it permanent.

[tony mc]

hello mate, yes i did it my self, with satin black wrap, was a bit fiddly but not to bad, just measure and cut to size before you put it on the car, i think i'm gonna plasti dip it to make it a better finish overall.
