What do you guys reckon on my new wheels? they really need a refurb, but they are straight, unlike the really really nasty venoms!!

Cheers Mike.

oh and thats 1 coat of colour magic, 3 coats of super resin and 1 of sutherbys show room shine, it really does the trick i think!!!

Glad you changed the venoms mate, much better. Front Bumper looks like SARD replica.

Hope this helps :)

nice one, cheers. all i really need to do now is get the wheels refurbed, paint the side strips, get 4 new tyres, new exhaust and downpipe, respray the wings, ( you can see the darker colour on the rear wing by the filler) and then i think i will sell it, to fund a turbo. :D

a stunning mr2 mate i have too say and why sell after putting in all the work on it wouldnt it be easier to just do an engine conversion ? as the car looks amazing as it is and imo think the strips look nice black as it ties in with your t bar as thats dark light tint the windows and put the turbo engine in set of rev 3 lights and youve got one hell of an mr2 just an idea

would love to do the turbo conversion, but its the cost really, it would work out cheaper to sell the car and buy a turbo, cheers for the comments, the wheels went off for refurb today, so back to the 'stunning' wonderful gorgeous venoms :? . will have them back by the weekend so am really looking forward to it. just gotta do exhaust today!

cheers Mike
