Isn't there a link to an American page showing you how to do it step-by-step?

Yeah, there are quite a few links about.
I have a fair idea on how to do it (from the links and the step-by-step guide in the Tanner book) but I wanted to know the nitty gritty and where to buy the vinyl from.
AND both Ryan and Ben have done this relatively recently. I was going to add Alistair but he cheated... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Hey! That is it!
Yup, it could look a bit exxy with orange 17's though...

That's it!!! There is no way I am helping now. How's a man meant to work under these conditions? How am I meant to issue commands with a parched throat? :lol:

THAT IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!!! :mrgreen:
That is a mad, mad orange!
I luuuuurve it.
I already bought rims though, Momo Sport 17's.
I am in the process of refinishing them (to get rid of a few scratches).
I guess I'll see what colour I spray them tomorrow..

Mind you, silver rims and silver stripes is a safe bet....
And one can't have the Green Comet laughing at them.....
