no problem, as you can see it took a long time but only because i had no reason to finish them quickly.
you could easily do them all in a weekend.

[frosty90]

i brought them with no reason to rush, i have perfectly good alloys on there at the moment, i just want wider wheels to go with my wheel arches

[maggies_minder]

been a long while since ive updated, so here goes...
the reason behind the wait is i wanted to wait for my new (this years) insurance policy to start. so these can be declared and then put on.

anyway, photos.
roofless came through with my decals and they look awesome. (apologies for the misses toes )


however he threw a spanner in the works.
i asked for 5 of my initials and 5 of maggie. however, he sent me 6 of each in 3 different sizes (as hes very kind).



but this meant my initial idea was thrown out the window because i now had so many options to play with.
so after spending a few hours arranging the decals in various places around the wheel and asking the misses what she thought, (i am the most indecisive person at the best of times, so she wasnt happy).

we decided on the final layout.



im well chuffed with how they look.
the plan was to laquer the fronts of the rim so, both the decals and paint are nicely protected.
but,
the misses (whos hated these wheels for months) now wants to get involved and do some pinstriping around the outer edge.
so thats put the completion date back about 3 weeks, because she cant start them until next monday and next saturday we fly out for tequilas in MEHECO!

but at least more progress is being made, rear hilows will be fitted this week and the next step is yokos on wellers on mini.

jerry springers final thought pic for now,

[Midas Mk1]

[maggies_minder]

in time grasshopper, i dont want to stick the yokos on the have the car sat still for 2weeks while im away.
theres method in the madness.

[maggies_minder]

cheers sam, ive got a steely as a spare if you need one (i saw your facebook just).

[RayBoogs]

they look awesome mate! love the stickers looks tops!!

cheers so do i
the original plan was to have my initials on one spoke then maggie (in one of the larger fonts) on the opposite one.
so they would be at 3 and 9 O'clock, if that makes sense?

but decided on this setup so they dont look so clutered...
