samuaw Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Should really start making a mod thread sometime soon. As always.. Mook's work is amazing. Also.. If you're wondering why I sanded down my original Center caps and not buy new ones, Well. Since day 1, they were all corroded and what not. Instead of paying Mr T £8 a cap. There are no universal ones which fit the Tech 5 so, i thought I'd Do something custom. Some sprays some Vinyl and hey presto! Plus this way it is all matching. P.s If you're planning on doing this, The GT centre caps are aluminium, to removed the raised GT logo lots and lots of sanding is necessary. And yes, I know there are not perfect, Especially the finish and the inner edges, But how often do you inspect wheels with a magnifying glass.. Ah well, The best i can do!

samuaw Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 There is a reason i have yet to post those up... Because I am awfully ashamed of my curbed alloys I'll snap the one with the least amount of curbage... They loooked pretty sweet when i popped them back on.

nakamura Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I like the gold effect. Give it a classy look but remains subtle. Nice one Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsolentMinx Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 very nice!!! you could have put them on straight, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Ice Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Nice, didn't thing the silver and gold would work, but strangely it does. If you're interested i've some decent gold plated battery clamps, which are really shiny and very very gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuaw Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 very nice!!! you could have put them on straight, though... I was trying to do what Honda do with their cars, Quality and attention to detail. All their wheel caps, the top of their H faces the tyre valve. I tried to line up the Tyre valve so it is horizontal to the letters. Clearly I didn't do that very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
