:D thought i'd give it the once over with a sponge before putting the wheels back on.

They are black chrome powdercoat. Done by Aerocoat in Great Yarmouth.

Will definately be doing a before and after with the top mounts with pics, and a ruler:)

That's what i'm after, i know it would be easier to just buy some mesh off ebay and shove it in but i want a more oem look.

It's a touch darker than oem but it's the nearest I found.

where did you pick those porsche wheels up from and which porsche are they from?

They aren't off a Porsche. They are Mille Miglia Cup 3 wheels, Mille Miglia originally made the Porsche wheels but they made a run of VAG Fitment (5x100 direct bolt on) wheels, which is what I have. I just stuck Porsche style centre caps in.
