looks great! White wall really suit it.
2006/08/18 19:44:26
lucas
cheers Rhys .

i like the white walls cause they break up the tyre a little.

itonly cost 70 bucks and the dude was here for 2 hours.

next thing to do is lower it but i just bought my 3rd mk2 2dr so dont have the cash i will be puttin pics of that up soon aswell.

cheers

Details of the tyre wall dude please.

Red would look swish on my granny!

Mr Mk2
Hey Lucus

Just found this thread! Car looks awesome, reminds me of my Mexico. As you said I would lower it. But do it correctly. maybe 2 at the back with blocks or reset leaves and 1.5 at front. Then it will look awesome. That single black line works with the yellow paint so well.

Keep at it.

Car looks great. The whitewalls turned out awesome.
2006/08/19 17:44:44
swanny
how do you do whitewalls?
2006/08/22 17:58:28
lucas
swanny.

a dude comes out with a little machine and it has a motor in it that turns the wheel while the wheel is turning he cuts out some of the tyre, just a little bit. and then in the groove that is left he paints in. pretty simple.

Looking good Lucas,
Was it a family day out at car wash?

Also I think the black makes rims appear bigger than they are which looks the goods and great to see something different being done.
