Painted all my wheels! Waiting to spray the clear coat, however I'm having a dilemma if I should clear coat it since I want to have a matt black finish

@ Adam sure! They are almost done now!! Can't wait to fit them in!! Though there is some dust bit since I left my rim on the balcony but only noticeable when you are really near to the rim.

@Chris Thanks! Without you I wont have these rims :)

@Nick, how much did you pay? And would the greddy se work with the rear diffuser/

the Greddy works with the XDC Rear skirt, check Itachi's Garage to view it, but im pretty sure it doesnt work with any others ..... i could be wrong but thats what ive been told, except the OEM mini thing thats not really a diffuser.

I dont think the SE will fit, might just be a little too big, but even if it does fit, ull have a huge hole on the other side =/

Fitted this today: An Hand-Brake Boot Cover made from Genuine Italian Leather.
From:RedLine Accessories/Goods

This is a Genuine Top Notch Product ...
Perfect Fit & Stitching and available in many Leather Color/Style Combos and Various Stitch Patterns & Color to suit your Interior.

Step-by-Step Install Instructions are provided on their Website. (3/4 down the page)


Here's some Pics of Dis-Assembled Parts:

Here's two Pics of the Leather Boot Stapled & Fitted in place:

As for the Stapling:
You just need a decent quality Stapler.
I used one similar to this type: Often known as a "Dog Stapler"
Image

However, Troy (aka Aspir3) fitted this Leather Cover a few weeks after me without any Stapling, and has informed me that it worked out just fine.
I tend to agree with Troy, since everything was very snug & neat after having replaced the Brake Handle & Covers etc.

Very Happy:

Sam .. :D

Looks awesome Justin.

I'm thinking of going blue too.. my car kinda has the "blue on blue" look (lets see how it works out).

Did you go for the paintbrush or spray paint option? Looks really neatly done.
