That would be too white, even for me...

16" Monza R's without the centre cap.

The centre caps that come with the wheels are like 6" dishes that cover the bolts. I'm looking for 55mm caps to just cover the hub.

thats fairly white to be fair, white wiper arms would be a bit strange i'd imagine.

Looking forward to the continuing theme, the white makes the black stand out.. enjoy keeping it sparkling

Guess this is where it gets a bit more interesting.

Good bits.
Very clean front wheel arches.
Image
Image

The not so good bits.
Bit of work needed to the rear arches, when they took the kit off to paint it after removing bump strips (before I bought it), it wasn't put back on properly so let water in. :ire:
Rusty bits in drivers rear arch.
Image
Welding almost finished on passenger rear arch.
Image

Most of the rear arches are OK so it didn't need a complete rebuild.

This seam also needed welding, it's behind where the fuel tank sits usually.
