Those cups actually don't look too bad Timmy. Think you should definately spray them all dark though.. Go down the stealthy winter look.

Aye exactly, they look a little fussy at the mo especially with the calipers on show also, too many colours going on for my liking! :P

Reminds me, you mentioning your calipers. They are looking very clean and bright 8) did you re-paint them or did you just give them a damned good clean? Mine are a sexy faded pink behind my G60 steels but I need to sort them out before my next set of rims go on :mrgreen:

Have you still got the Audi Pepper Pots Tim???

I have been trying to track down a set of 4 studs but their rarer than rocking horse poop!

I want to get a set now Winter is here, the BBS rims are suffering in this weather I want them off the car ASAP!

Would you consider selling yours? or do you know anybody with a set?

Cheers

Ben,

Pepperpots only come in 5X100 dude, so you'd need adaptors.

I haven't got mine any more, I swapped them for the Cups!

Got some spigot rings, should do the job nicely. I need to decide on a colour for these Cups now, am thinking in the region of gun metal grey or anthracite, thoughts?

I'd say anthracite, I reckon shadow chrome would look pretty unique on the centers though! What'd you think?

SMALL PROGRESS

Removed all my door seals and sprayed them black, looks really good! Although after putting them back in, there's some small edges that could do with re-doing (didn't know they were visible until put back on).

I took off my tweeter grills to spray too, keyed and primered them but ran out of paint, so I'll get some more soon and get them done along with the seal edges. Pics to follow when it's all done.
