Hi guys,
Following on from my thread about what colour to do my alloys, I've pretty muh decided on Vx Astra Spoke Grey, which my missus bought to spray a candlabra, but I stole a bit and gave one of my spare alloys a dusting with it and it seems quite nice, havn't put it up against the car yet, but its kind of the colour the front wheels go with a hundred miles of brake dust on it, but obviously shiny.
Problem is the center caps are still silver. Does the 'L' emblem come off rather than trying to mask around it?
Il try and get some pics up of the first one at some point. Then I've just got to properly refurb my other wheels, but at my rate of work it could be a while.
Cheers
Gareth

yes the wee L comes off if you snap the wee clips/lugs you can just super glue them back on mate.

Thanks for the reply mate, I think I may see if I can pick some up off ebay to have a play.
Can anyone confirm if the center caps of the 18" styling kit alloys are the same as the standard wheels,
Thanks again
Gareth

As above you can remove them and then use a bit of glue to put them back.
