Re: My 1.8 focus MP3 - Wheels refurb in white :P
Hey guys been ages since I'v done an u[pdate as I'v been moving house to scotland and getting my other car how I want it. I have been getting fed up with the state of my wheels from when the missis used to drive this car so decided to give them a spruce up.
White wheels on a blue car can go wrong in my opinion. I'll get some piccys up asap.

just a guess, but id say they'd look poo on a ka, far to square for a curvy modern ka
they just about suit a Si

Re: My 1.8 focus MP3 - Wheels refurb in white :P
all the colour coded bits sure make a big difference on a focus
love the white wheels. But a biatch to keep clean
I recommend applying alloy wheel protector to prevent brake dust eating away your paint work.

Re: My 1.8 focus MP3 - Wheels refurb in white :P
ive never bought any before tbh
ive seen them in halfords , autoglym do one and there are a few others.
Thing is with that stuff is you have to reapply it every time after you clean the wheels.
But the idea is it dont let brake dust eat into the alloy wheels.

Poorboys it is then if I can find it. I didn't even know you could get it to be honest. Problem is I rearely have time to spend a long time on the car but I guess 5 mins aint gonna be a problem and its worth it.

Re: My 1.8 focus MP3 - Wheels refurb in white :P
I dont need luck lol.
a can't see anyone really saying any good reason not to buy it apart from its not their kinda car as it really is in such good condition. Nothing needs doing at all apart from the windscreen but even that isn't an mot failure as its on passanger side and you can get it done on the insurance for £75.
