LOL. I noticed the spokes straight away, they look great... much brighter, as does the whole wheel! Sorry mate am I being dumb? I guarantee if if I go to buy lacquer some twat will ask me what sort and what I want it for!

Now wouldn't that look great with "Bridgestone Potenza" picked out in white on the tire?

I'll get my coat...

Looks nice Nigel. Your S2000 was hardly a dowdy Caterpilla when it went into the garage for the winter, but it really is going to emerge as a beautiful Butterfly

Very nice Nigel
All you need is the blue soft top from the 2002 model and you'll be finished.

Is that a shiny air valve cap too ?

Very nice, the contrast around the spokes look excellent. How long did it take you Nigel??

Actually I've just realised it isn't the light, you've actually painted those spokes grey, using a stencil presumably? Looks good... I'd have to see 'em on the car.

Cedric Your a star!! were you thinking about it all night how the light was catching them and just realised this morning!
I'll mail you with the lacquer and a quick run through later.

The colour is metalic dark silver and there not painted they are transfers, I did a template and took it to the sign/transfer people we use and asked them to make 20 of them for me.
They can be made in any colour you want to complement the car and pep the wheels up, if at any time you dont want them on any more you just peel them off with no damage to your wheel, simple!.
Time took to do them, 5mins per wheel after you have properly cleaned it to ensure good adhersion. You can change the appearance of your wheels as many times as you want for a very cheap cost. Price of all transfers
