Cool Soooo... who likes Green !!




Wheels off my red car [sorry Chiketd I'm selling my red car..I'm still a raving fan of red..but my green car with only 55000kms is the better of the 2]
Wheels come up well .. .not bad on green ..the stainless steel lip on the wheel sets off the darker color and chrome trim in the rubbing strip I had put on the car adds to the effect and is there to reduce the car park bashing as well !!

Hey Grn96'
Looks sharp, what kind of rims are those?

(as for the body kit on Spear's car, he made it himself)

I like it a lot.

The black number plates and chrome trim match the green really well.

I think it would look even better with a 92-style shiny black roof and deck.

Red car going - sad day

Chiketkd
It will be a sad day when I finally let the red car car go...it has been a real attention getter...much more so than the green car with the same wheels fitted...says a lot for RED cars !!!

Wheels - are made by Koya called Inox 2 alloys with stainless steel lip and weigh close to the same as the std alloy rims

Thanks David

I like it. The only thing wrong is the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

The way I see it

You're right, it is on the right side, but that's why it's wrong.

If the vast majority of humanity is right-handed isn't it more logical to keep your right hand on the steering wheel, leaving your left hand free to do more mundane tasks such as flick cigarette ashes, pitch empty beer bottles and empty wine boxes out the window?
