**J1ODYA** · 7:th-Jun-2014, 15:21:08

Nice touches, I like subtle mods

**n1ibor** · 8:th-Jun-2014, 12:55:25

**Tottybye** · 8:th-Jun-2014, 15:11:27

**Cameron UK** · 8:th-Jun-2014, 16:19:07

***Rusty2009*** · 9:th-Jun-2014, 11:11:30

**Tottybye** · 10:th-Jun-2014, 21:04:18

You need to wrap your centre caps, they will look a lot better:

**Tottybye** · 6:th-Jul-2014, 15:04:19

I tried it when I swapped badges, wasn't too sure whether I like them or not!
