lol i know that, but since your car is "undriveable" anyway, it would be good to see some fitment pics... but whatever.

2nded. As per my post in the hubcentric thread

This is a picsorban issue, you need to take it seriously

Loving that Autoexe gearknob. Any purchase from Rob E is going to be a good one, he doesn't muck about!

Autoexe gear may be rebadged/made-to-order components, but I've heard nothing but good experiences with their products. I'd certainly consider more Autoexe gear for my car if I had the choice between brands for a specific item.

Have to second your comments re: the McGuard lugnuts. Soooo good.
Just don't try using them with stock wheels on an NC.Ok? OK!

More photos after the scrubbing please! :mrgreen:

thanks guys.

i'm already thinking of spraying the centre a more goldish colour.

will sit on these rims for a few weeks and see if i change my mind then.

as an aside, i took my car battery back to the place where i got it. it's gone flat on me a couple of times. i think my old man has a battery charger lying around, but the purpose of me going to the autoelectrician was to try and squeeze out from him a new battery since its still under warranty :mrgreen:

he said to call back monday.

some dodgy snaps from yesterday

front guard:

i like that it doesn't sit too flush because it'll allow me to run some muscle spec rubbers :mrgreen:

(due to be replaced eta mid this year)

from the rear:

and a quick side shot:

i'm already thinking of getting the centre of it resprayed, along with removing the stickers on the spokes. it looks too congested. something along a bronzier colour with clear coat:

as an aside, i might scrap getting my garage vary front lip repaired and get a completely different front bar altogether

what i'm still thinking about now is whether the front bar will match the rims, or vice versa.

dude i reckon the light gold is perfect, too bronze wouldnt work, imo/

i've got a pic of dog tooth's NB, very similar colour scheme, same gold colour wheels and same front bar
