Lensos are comng off soon.

New ICE today, a Pioneer AVH P3100DVD http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/archive/AVH-P3100DVD/index.html as an early birthday present from Al and, weather permitting, it'll be getting some special attention tomorrow so I can have a good look at the paintwork and see if any of it needs a respray  :grin:

@ Al & Natasha - I think it will look really cool once dropped on the Lensos. Perhaps try them in a different colour, red perhaps?

There's a silver Lupo GTI slammed on blue split wheels of some sort (BBS look) that traipses round the shows and I think it looks awesome. There's probably mileage in yours yet  :smiley:

All in good time! I have a list of what needs doing and I'm slowly working my way down it. Lows are quite close to the top of the list but there's something else to come first.

The GF is after her first car - I think I might just have to push her towards one of these.

Change of shoes once again, kind of. I decided to stick with the Bathursts after much deliberation. But they were a bit damaged so I needed to refurb them. Al persuaded me to go with a sparkly anthracite type colour. I originally wanted black but Al and Russ were against it. So off I toddled to A1 wheels in Wolverhampton and this is the result...
