Another thumbs up for the wheels.
What did you use to highlight the lettering on the tyres in white?
I tried this once years ago but the white went all yellow/brown after I cleaned the tyres a couple of times.

Cheers lads, I used the pens but these tyres have been battered and look awful now but yeh they do fade over time I just top them up ale erythema I give her a clean, but I find just a bit of warm water cleans them best as wheel products are a bit harsh for the liquid

tbh mate that boot only tools me and me old man used was a angle grinder and a drill, the old man is proper old school, he's got so many tricks up his sleeves.
He just cut them out with a grinder mate and after a smooth up and coated they came out perfect. But all was made from one sheet of steel. I can send you a diagram to work from if you need one though fella

Well finished all the carpets today aswel. Gotta say my mates done a awesome job.... Will upload some pictures tomorrow, ran out of light now
