I bought white wheel in the summer, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Took the front ones off this afternoon and it took 2 hours to get them clean. Doing the rears tomorrow .

yes its a sore point that car !!!

i never drank, went out or done anything to get that car the way i wanted it,,such a waste of 2 years of my life !!!
I more or less did the same with my old Saff, new engine and a full respray and it got stolen from outside my house with out a few bits fitted

Was gutted
