AdyGT Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Ive done mine a few times over the last 3 years and takes hours to do and now need doing again as the fronts are a real pain to clean so time for a colour change me thinks . This time i need to get them done professionally this time as the inner rims are found to be corroded after having 2 new rear tyres yesterday so not looking forward to that but hopefully done soon orbefore the main shows this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devious Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I like the 2 tone idea. I'm just not sure the purple has enough umph to set it apart from the dark outer face. Perhaps a few shades lighter on the purple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
