coilovers arrived today!! installed the rears and am waiting on my gf's dad to bring over an ECS order from the states when he gets back from a conference over there so i can do the fronts! also planning on disassembling the wheels tomorrow and start refurbing them... man i love holidays

awesome news!!! gutted you cant wait another 3 weeks for coils to be fitted.... just kidding, glad to see your super keen
wheels look niceeeee

when do you get back frenchy!? picking up adapters tomorrow and will do a trial fit and send you some sneaky pics... started refurbing the lips today. already a bazillion times better. still undecided on what colour to go with... at the moment silver is the colour of choice but i feel it is just sooooo boring. black i think will look semi-chat and a colour just wont look good... thinking possibly gold bolts to give it a bit more pop? but even then i'm undecided... opinions people?

[eltonking]

also not to spark up a bit debate but powdercoating vs 2pack paint? and any experiences with the places in melbourne to go as well as a rough price range?

Nice vid, love the barb wire "audi rings" Why does vimeo take about 5hours to load the vid for me though (slight exaggeration).

i think the 17th july.. too soon
as for powdercoating Vs 2-pac paint;
some alloy wheels can buckle under the temperatures powdercoating requires to cure.
for instance my RA's were been painted with 2-pac, because i've heard they buckle.
but i dont know what those wheels are like.... anyone???

ok i've decided on a colour for the centres - but am now presented with a pickle. to compliment the said colour (secret) i wish to have gold bolts. problem is - mine are silver. all (140~?) of them.
should i a) drill holes in a plank of wood and spray them gold. b) get new, gold bolts. c) anodise or powdercoat (or whatever) my existing bolts professionally or d) deal with it and keep them silver.

each have pros and cons - a)i feel as though if i spray them, they will either chip or flake when fitting and over time turn to ****. also i cannot 'polish' paint. but, cheap. b) expensive. very. but they're gold. c) look at 'b)' but maybe tone it down a little (get rid of the 'very') and d) cheapest option. but, they're not gold.

thanks in advance
