vRS Dovit · 06-05-2008, 14:14

As promised, pics of the car all cleaned and polished lol

DJM123 · 06-05-2008, 14:21

Looks stunning i especially like the engine bay all cleaned up. What did you use on the wheels in the end?

vRS Dovit · 06-05-2008, 14:24

cheers bud. I used 3 different products! lol meguires metal polish on the stainless lip, Simonize MAX wax n polish for the black centres and a quick coat of Autoglym hi gloss wax on the whole wheel! lol took bloody ages lol

vRS Dovit · 06-05-2008, 14:26

Thinking about mounting the Dragon "box" on the fire wall beside the ecu, at the strut mount on the passengers side, just for the "WTF is that?!?!?!" factor lol lol lol
Dunno what i'll secure it with though lol

DJM123 · 06-05-2008, 14:31

Excuse the ignorance, but how big is the dragon box and what material etc?

vRS Dovit · 06-05-2008, 14:44

lol erm, its about 6-7inch(estimate) and made of metal, but right now its in a nylon-type bag to protect it from water/dirt etc

Johnny50 · 06-05-2008, 14:53

Look good.
I had them on my Impreza about 4 years ago...just one word of warning..
Get some really good sealant on them.
The outer rim on mine corroded badly within 2 months and this is how they looked.

vRS Dovit · 06-05-2008, 14:56

awwww NOOOOOOOO?!?!!?!?!?!??!

need to get a sealant asap! What one can get from an autoshop? Jason suggested Poorboys but i cant find it anywhere......

Johnny50 · 06-05-2008, 15:28

Poorboys Wheel Sealant

Their you go.

There were 3 of us that had the wheels, and we all had the same issues with them, sop hopefully they'll have been rectified at the factory by now.

DJM123 · 06-05-2008, 15:30

Out of interest did you try and return them?

Johnny50 · 06-05-2008, 15:48

Yes, but as i had slightly kerbed one wheel (about 3cm long) they refused them.

jasc1988 · 09-05-2008, 19:14

Ahh just noticed you have added wider angle pics.

Looks amazing but i think the rear mudflaps spoil it ??

vRS Dovit · 09-05-2008, 19:20

i like the back ones, gives the impression that its lower lol plus keeps it slightly cleaner lol

Johnny50 · 09-05-2008, 20:55

I still cant decide about mudflaps or not.

LOL that was a bit of a waste o time Jas lol
I like the mudflaps, personally i think it makes the car more "finished"

Again, its personal taste, but mine do help keep the dirt down a bit, roads about here are hellish

vRS Dovit · 25-05-2008, 16:57

Just a wee update on the wheels.......i've added a wee.....well......."cheeky bit" lol Makes people look twice which is quite cool

red-devil · 25-05-2008, 19:20

look really clean top job.
What break disc's are they?

MudPuppy · 25-05-2008, 21:57

I like the new addition to the wheels; nice touch

I think I like mudflaps; it's something I've been considering for a while but can't quite make my mind up!!

The car looks great, by the way

Kay.

Johnny50 · 25-05-2008, 23:30

Very discreet on the new stickers. Excellent.

I'm gonna go for flaps when i get the car finished.
