Thanks Mikaela ! im jealous of the little shoot you guys did....
Re: Joe's Gti Progress Thread - Wheels Refurbed.
Amazing job with the handles!!! Like wow! Sometimes rattle can spraying ive seen looks rubbish, lots of orange peel, and a bit tacky looking, but you've put so much time and effort in. Really fantastic job
And the wheels look great! Really good choice with them!
