This what happens when a gritting lorry travels at 10mph uphill, in the fog!


I was so p*ssed off, I had to treat myself.
So when rarerims offered me these boost alloys with toyo T1-R tyres for less than £600 delivered, I couldn't say no!
A nice chrimbo present for me.

Somebody didn't use enough plasticiser in their paint


Understandable, as it's a bitch to wet-sand and polish afterwards.

 

cut the crap, why is your car pink?

did you buy that monstrosity off of breadhead?

 

Had them painted at a body shop, won't be going back there!
Hows this pink?

 

err....looks a bit pink from here...

 

Get your eyes checked numb nuts!

 

have you pressed CTRL+F5 lately?

 

Is this what you do all day?

 

no

so your first pic is not pink?


2 mins....

 

If this is pink, i'm a giraffe!

If anyhting, it looks more orange!

 

Alright Jefferey.

 

ok...does this not look even slightly pink?

maybe its my colour settings?

 

Thats where I was going!

 

the other shots of your car look redder than a red car on red car day...just the first shot...

 

Since the official colour code is 'Bright Red', no!

 

To be honest, I was more interested in everyones opinion of my choice of new rims.

 

Looks like it has a pink flip under cold white light. Like the red e46 BMWs.

 

Prefer your old rims m8 in anthracite .

 

So do I, but not the cost of 225/35/18 tyres!

 

Looks pink in the first one to me too!

 

I have a pink car.... can we move on now ffs?

 

I agree with Ali about the lack of plasticiser in the paint. Some of the crap they come out with to avoid using it beggars belief...

 

I'm gonna buck the trend and JUST comment on the wheels.
Lovely rims mate, really suit the look of the classic.
Good choice fella

 

It does look pink the first pic lol, but its clearly a red car!

nice rims mate, cant go wrong @ that price - totally agree with the grit lorry/treating policy though, I will be treating myself to a fuel pump, full decat, and remap in the new year

 

Thanks guys!
Took me a long time to deside on those wheels.

 

I hate gritters, unlucky mate. I like your car as it is with the OZ alloys.

 

A gritter shouldn't do that!

You painted it with pink emulsion?

 

How original!

 

pmsl at this thread.

 

I should have left out the pink - just stuck to the emulsion.

Seriously I've passed lots of gritters in lots of cars and the rat-a-tat-tat along the car always makes me cringe. But after close inspection I've never found any damage that I could attribute to the gritter.

As the damage is all on the fog light cover I would suggest that it has been poorly sprayed. Don't run you fingernail across it you will probably leave a black line......
