Not a bother....

What lovegroova says.

He suggested I go for yellow. I went for a zingy oilseed rape yellow.



The finish wasn't great so I had it re-done. I gave the guy a colour sample but somehow ended up with rear plate yellow, which doesn't match my 'Shrek ears' so they had to go. I couldn't have my wing mirrors done to match the wheels as the finish I've got now needs to be baked.



Yellow is very Marmite I know but I love blue and yellow together. Kids love it, I'm always getting shouts of, "Nice car lady" and "Fresh." The car really stands out, great for finding in car parks and at events.

These wheels would look good without the gay blue lug nuts. Black looks like the hubcaps were stolen. I put OEM wheels (AP2V2) wheels on mine but you don't want silver.

But taste is very personal. I'm told some guys like Lite Beer.

I know what you mean. I'm in the process of trying to get different wheel nuts also.

Jonner, if you are thinking of getting rid of those lugnuts and they are genuine Work ones, I could be interested in some if not all as I have stripped a thread on one of mine.
