Rollers are for men Chris, there is no need to justify yourself

No more drifting for me,especially in this new one!

My new wheels got delivered today,Japan Racing JR10 15x8j ET15. Conveniently I work next to a tyre fitting company so the tyres from the RKRs were fitted and all was bolted to the car.
Please excuse the dirty car,havent had a chance to wash it due to the crap weather

Jass Low-Pro headlights re-fitted along with the HIDs

Also fitted a Runabout Type 2 fuel lid

The wheels look great Chris but

This made me go 'woah!'

The swirls are killing your paint mate.......such a gorgeous colour too.

As I said Stuart,i haven't had a chance to wash it

That's a job for Wednesday providing the weather stays dry

Chris........washing it won't remove the swirls mate; they are in the clear coat or lacquer and will only be removed through polishing with abrasives.

Don't worry this isn't some kind of push for work as I am fully booked for weeks ahead as it is, but if you need or want some pointers I'll be happy to help

Those wheels are very nice but I wouldn't want to clean them......Is that colour Midnight purple ? or a factory mazda colour ? Should look fantastic when fully buffed

The colour is Honda Amethyst Pearl

So it seems the bad luck at started with the Purple Monster. Got woken up at 7:40am this morning by my neighbor opposite. He came to tell me he had reversed out of his drive and hit the car. He reverses out of the drive every single morning,how could he not see a car parked the opposite side of the road!
Got some repair quotes and gave them to him,just waiting on getting the money :/

At least you've got honest neighbours, the old twat opposite us did that and drove off, lucky for us we watched him do it.
