My dmb centres havent arrived yet, so ive done abit of a bodge with some smooth black paint and re-applied the sticker, also removed most of the GF stripes.

alloys look quite nice tho i liked it better with the stripes?

Them alloys look top on that car! How much have they set you back if you don't mind me asking?

Car looks mint.

2 things needed for me though, privacy glass (film from Halfords) and to paint the rear sensors on the white (possible caps to put on?)

Again, awesome looking car :) Byee

Agreed. As for the sensors, on mine, they are white, well, the ones on the white bits are and become less conspicuous as a result :unsure:

I did nothing mate, that's how they came on the car from Ford. They're just like the black ones, only white!

Perhaps have a word with your dealer?

Where from? And do they only do black? (<stupid question I know but you never know with businesses these days haha)

Heff

they look awesome, would definitely get a set of the ford 17" alloys in black if I had the cash.

well i got mine done at C & J powder coatings in grimsby, they do lots of colours.. they did bright colours, gloss colours, matte colours and also a glittery parlascent finish. obviously costs more cash like.. im sure most powder coating businesses do various colours & finishes :)

I like that - get the tyres dressed with a gloss finish dressing and the wheels will look even better. Meguiars would give you the right effect to match the finish on the wheels.

The alloys look good on a white car.

good choice.

I like! Not 100% sure on the GF stripes...Maybe something that's better in the flesh. Though I understand they were on the car when you bought it. Definitely looks better now some have been removed though!

Your car looks great! Really!

I was also thinking about the black roof and most likely I will do mine also. Could I ask how much you paid for it?

By the way, welcome! :)

Don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't do anything anymore to the car...to much will just "suffocate" this clean look...
