I'm quite a fan of my NC, she just needs to go a little lower and maybe some proper side-skirts (along with some sort of back lip/wing bling :P )

Hejira, I sanded them back, cleaned them up and then added a few coats of black paint. They seem to last quite well so far and really easy to touch up.

How long have you had them painted for?



on topic; problem is there's a lot of camera angles that don't compliment the shape of the NC. last night I found this angle works well for my stock NC;

I love your silver, dark grey and I actually don't mind white. Side on and rear, no problems but cameras don't do justice to the front.
Reckon the darker colours - black and storm blue - disguise, as you say "some of the angles that don't compliment the shape of the NC."

Saw a marble white one with a black soft top - was very keen on that - and would have tried to source a set of chrome wire spokes to replicate an MGB I once had.

BTW has anyone ever seen classic chrome wire spokes on an mX? Sounds good, not sure how they'd look.

I've had them painted for almost two years now. I've only touched up the ones I use on the track as they do get a bit of a beating. The set I use on the street are fine.
