Yes, they definitely are not cheap like. I'm going to have a look to see if I can get a swap done for my Rotas, although I'm real picky for wheels so I might just sell them and put the money to a new set. How to the vents look? Did you get them sorted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STJAY Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 They look awesome mate, I must say. Something I'd be weary about getting done, but they look the ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b4zz Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 cheers for the positive comments guys. I was not to sure at first as once they are in there is no turning back lol but glad I did go for it. yunii they cost me £170 all in and I thought that was a good price if I have any trouble all I got to do is connect the guy that done them and he will sort it out. managed to fit my carbon look mirror covers from paint modz.just before it rained again. just got to fit the washer jets now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Actually like the vents. They go well with the design and shape of the bonnet. Also like the carbon mirror covers. At a distance they look gloss black but up close you can see the carbon fibre effect. Might look into getting a gloss carbon fibre wrap.

I think a carbon fibre wrap would go well with the sea grey colour of your car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the STs and ghia models the door handles, door strips and mirror covers are colour codes but on the zetec s it ain't probably to make it a poor man's ST. As I'm not going to keep the car before 2021 because of that diesel charge I might have to see if its worth doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of getting them painted but because of the emissions charge coming to London I don't see the point spending that money if I know i have to change the car. A cheaper option I was thinking of doing is wrapping it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still for all it would cost to paint yourself, plus some fell has done a cracking tutorial for beginners on an old Pug forum. Plus it's good fun :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say very happy with how the wheels have made the car look and glad I went for these as I was also looking at a set of bola B1S or bola B10S. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I think the fifteen 52s look good. Id still hold onto the original wheels as those still are good and might be more desirable when you sell the car. Next on the bulbs list is to get the performance indicators. You won't regret it and they are brighter than the reverse lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
