Move your P plate to the left side of the radiator grill for just that little extra performance

It took me about 10 hours for the wheels and brakes to be done, had a bit of trouble trying to get the hand brake cable back onto the one of the brakes. I think it turned out well

It's very nice what you have done to your wheels. I'm just wondering whether it will look as nice as yours in my black GPvR. By the way what paint did you use on the wheels? Did you also paint the outer lips with silver paint? Thanks.
