Lol I think I may have bought the same set of lights from Ebay as well. I may have to steal your idea and tint them also, although I'll wait to see what they look like.
The mags look good too, I was thinking they wouldn't look all that great against the silver of the car, but with the center caps painted they look awesome.
What's next on the list Lorenz?

wow! that'll look even sweeter with a lil drop! and you didnt want the stretched look or couldnt? now get those rears on immediatly!
Cheers guys
Alex, I would love to get some more strech on those wheels, but seeing as they are only 7s its kinda hard without going to stupid tyres sizes like 185 or less. I put some 205s on one of the wheels and it sat pretty much flat, the 195s strech the tiniest bit.
Cant remember where the lights came from, just some random store on eBay sold stuff on ebay.com.au rather than ebay.com. Set me back like $60 in the end. Just be careful with the fog lights as they are glass not plastic and tend to break when dropped(bit of araldite and shes all good!)

dem wheels look finnnne.
Can't wait for proper shots![]()
Spent the last 2 hours trying to fit the rears, and have come across a slight problem. It appears some of the wheels have a slightly different centre bore size (ie too small) meaning I cant fit the wheels on the hubI had the same problem when fitting one of the fronts, but a quick file of the inside edge of the hub and it fitted on fine. I have spent a while with a rock file on the end of a drill, boring out the centre to try and make it fit and still no success. I think its slowly getting there, about 1mm off now I reckon. Same problem with the other rear wheel. Might have to take it to Extensive Wheels again and see if they can bore the centres out properly to the proper size.
I have tomorrow off so hopefully I can get the wheels on and some photos up asap![]()

dambgood luck with it!
Hahaha persistence is the key. But too much persistence means bad looking wheels. So, persistence plus that all-annoying patience is the REAL key![]()
