Hi guys, Can anyone give me any advice as to how easy it is to remove the wing mirrors and small blanking covers so as to have them colour coded? Ive had previous cars coded but they all seem to chip around the edges presumably where they were masked-off!:confused:

Wheelworx web site ok, all bk range available from main depot (Devon i think) talked today and all available from stock just don't do chrome. I thought it would really stand out against the blue bodywork, Checking axe wheels now.

Thankyou v.much re tyresize most web sites just tell you that they will fit your car. For some reason Halfords seem reluctant to sell me any 17" wheels as their "Wheel bible" tells them 15" maximum,

What a bummer! Finally found some wheels that really take his eye to find that there aren't any in the country as chrome wheels, or so BK say, are not popular anymore!!! Perhaps if they stocked them then perhaps they would be. Will start my list again and be trawling through every web site...

Nearest according to web page is Birmingham, approx 25 miles. Will pop down this weekend to view their stock, Thanks for the advice as i'm a bit of a sceptic buying things unseen on the strength of a digital photo!

stock steel 14" at the moment but looking at the BK range, BK299 look awesome but i dont know if the spokes stick out father than the rim for kerb damage would need to see some before i splash any cash !!!. Also like the BK 238, n both these have 205 / 40 tyre packages from topgear.co.uk dont...

Just bought C2 and want to fit smart alloys. Wheel spacers ok but definately no body mods. Car is metallic blue & want the car to look impressive. Son likes black wheels but not certain if it goes with the colour. Gift 4 sons birthday so can't ask too many leading questions.

thanks 4 the encouragement, would the steering / tracking have been affected?

Hi guys can anyone help regarding lowering suspension, looked at a kit and coil overs but cant get my son covered even through the wifes policy. Can springs be changed and what happens at the rear. Car diy not my forte' so probably going to mechanic

Thanks for your advice will be insuring on wifes policy for a vtr 8valve. What is the smooth look and do you know of any web sites, also how easy is it to loose the door handles etc and fit poppers?

standard vtr 8valve, already having to put him on wife,s in surance due to quotes around £2.5K. He,s really keen golfer so boot will be full of clubs most of the time p.s. What is the euro look

Thanks for that Herb, 17" Wide Alloys, Twin custom exhaust and coil over suspension part of the plan but i dont know if smooth or angular is "in or out" Cars going to be a suprise for sons 18th so cant ask; Considering taking to citituning @ Notts
