Hi Jim,

That's a really really nice car you have there. Those alloys are my favourites on the 6 - i think they really suit it. (give me a shout if you ever think about selling them).

What are you going to do to it?

Cheers for the comment. Oh, I forgot to reply to your pm... Nope it werent me the other day that you seen m8 haha. Well ill definately give you a shout, i think they could be going up for sale as soon as i get alloys sorted out.

Well, the first job is to change the bumpstrips to plain black... I don't like the chrome inserts haha. After that im going to put on wind deflectors and the small boot spoiler... Money is tight so will see how it goes :lol:

No bother JIm - It was the alloys that made me take a second look on the road. They looked pretty much like the wolfrace katanas - it was early and they were spinning so i could have been wrong. Keep the pics coming Jim and let me know if you're ever selling the rims.
