You don't want to attach photos using the attachment button, download photobucket on your phone or go to the website and make a free account.
You can then host your pictures on there and copy the link to them, so quick and easy to use.
Look forward to seeing the pics

Im not sure what they are called mate ill look it up, i just know they are the standard sri vx line rims 19 inch. They are a dark gun metal colour. Think i will probably change them in the future but not yet
Changed the side repeaters for smoked ones i got on ebay but im not convinced about them, i thought they would be darker ones so might change them again.![[Image: received_10209721408933805_zpscn3ab8g2.jpeg~original]](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d38/chrisb2511/received_10209721408933805_zpscn3ab8g2.jpeg~original)
There is definately a difference when you hold the old ones up to the smoked ones but when you look at car without then i dont think theyre dark enough Any thoughts guys? Do i need darker ones or not? And does anyone know where im guaranteed darker ones? I assumed smoked was smoked lol

I am not sure if those alloys (same as mine) have an official name as all I have ever found when searching for them is '19" 10 double spoke alloy wheel'

This is what the vxr side repeater look like on an astra... this is the same look that I'm aiming for eventually, with the same wheels and caliper colour.

The sharkfin is compatible, but you need to get a decent one as the reception can be hit and miss on some of the cheaper ones and you will need to add a 12v power to it from your rear fuse box which is pretty straight forward.

Nice motor there. I had a choice between a red and white one when I bought mine. Decided on the white in the end. Enjoy.
The very dark side repeaters don't allow the indicator light through in the day. Only visible at night.

You can get after market 18" VXR alloy replicas like those pictured for £399, the 19's are £480. The 19" 10 double spoke VX alloys are about £150 each second hand on eBay.

Think ill black them first and see what i think. Is dip the same as painting them? Easier than wrapping?

so i had a go at changing colour of the gear numbers! Very happy with the results. It was tricky fiddling with the stickers so they lined up with the numbers, but i managed to get the lines white and numbers red. Had thought about doing the R in blue or something different but left it red for now.

Ive painted my front and rear griffin black but just wondering if i should attempt to paint the V and the writing red paint and a fine brush. Would modelling paint work ok? Or just leave them all black.

I ordered a new one on ebay and painted it first. Removed tbe old one and cleaned all the glue off the paintwork. Then put the one i painted on. It has 3m backing and 2 pins that fit into 2 holes ensuring its straight. Job done!
