| Yea Cus 10-20mm Sigma F3.5 Since Christmas, I've Bought A New OMP Deep Dish Wheel For Her And A Boss To Fit. Also Some Presses Plates From DubMeister. The White One Is A Show Plate And It Was Supposed To Read DEL SLO lol But They Messed Up The Order And Spelt It Wrong Or Right How Ever You Look At It Haha It Looks Great On And Much Better Than The Bold Italic Previous Ones. They Are Reflective Too So Nearly Legal! Few Shots In Town. Next Up Will Be The New Bumper Which Will Be With Me By The End Of This Week. I Still Have A Few Plans Left But Nothing Major Just Making It A Bit More LOW Friendly lol She'll Be Getting Lowered More So I'm Taking Out The Inner Arches And Putting A New Manifold On With A Skid Plate. I Have An Exhaust Mod That's A Secret Mod Which I Think Its Going To Look Great, Depending On If I Can Find A Metalwork Place That Can Do It. | |

| Over 6 Hours Of Sanding And Polishing And That Means One Wheel Is Done! lol Decided To Refurb My Summer Wheels And Have A Go At Polishing The Lips Myself. I've Never Done This Before. I Went 240, 400, 800, 1200 Then Auto Sol. Gonna Get A Rotary Buffer On There Soon Hopefully. Before: After: Really Pleased So Far How It's Turned Out. Three More To Go! | |

I've Ordered A Polishing Kit Now Tho So I Can Get The Finish 200% Better Than It Is Now.

| not to blow my own trumpet but i did my last one's i had off dave, they were in terrible condition lol but i managed to dod all four in one night till 4 o'clock in the mornin, used pretty much the same grades of sand paper as you and me too had no finger print on the end of my fingers and blisters the next day!
tip: fold the sand paper over so its gritted on both sides then put a bit of sponge over it to stop the rubbing between your fingers and the paper, also get a bucket of water and use with the high grade paper towards finishing them up, gives it that bit of extra smoothness and shine!
your also gonna need to stay on top of the polishing an maybe even sanding if your not laquering them. i used to polish mine every weekend and they still managed to get messed up. | |

| Thanks For That Dude, I Didn't Know If Using The Wet And Dry Actually Wet Made A Difference. All I Know Is That It Makes More Mess lol
The Lips Will Be Getting Laqured When The Centres Get Painted. | |
