Hei Pez!

Thanks for dropping by

I am a tad reluctant to share information right now as the wheels are at the shop still and I've not seen the results as yet. Keeping all fingers and toes crossed that it would be as I expected it to look and feel like.

Rest assured, once its done, I'll post the pics so you may be your own judge.

I spy - number plate lights, sway bar end links & trim rivets!

Making sure your car is still showroom condition?
You are going right down to the smallest details. Good effort!

Hahahaha!!! SHARP eyes you've got there bro...

I believe in doing things right the first time. May take longer, but hey... that is the joy of ownership I guess. Wait..... THAT IS SO CRAPPY!!!

SOOO NOTTTT!!! The joy of ownership is being at max torque at all gear change till you have 'pin-hole' vision and everything else seems to go grey and slow-mo!!!

PRU13 Black!

Finally, I got to collect my wheels today! Truth be known, I wasn't putting my expectation too high but still hoping that the outcome would surprise me... The intention was for a 'textured black' ala EAS. But what I got was almost there, so I'll give it a 6/10.

Introducing the "PRU13 Black"!
