valy Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 nice,where did you powder coat them? was it expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverthorn Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 @valy I had the wheels powder coated by a place local to me named 'Prestige Wheel Refurbishments'. The quality of work was second to none. I watched them remounting my tyres and I've never seen anyone take as much care with them as they did! Turned them round in 48h and only cost £300 + VAT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverthorn Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Well it's fair to say I absolutely adore the new look The slight window tint, door handles and wheels all tie together perfectly IMO 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattross1313 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Holy fitment batman!! They look spot on mate, the new colour is also way better than chrome. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Looks awesome mate. Amazing how a set of wheels can make or break a car, even the colour. I’ve just had mine powder coated (changed from OEM silver to gloss black) and they’ve transformed the car. Loving your work Sir 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Muxlow Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Looking fantastic. As has been said above, that colour wheel looks much better than chrome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverthorn Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Thanks for the positive comments guys! I'm over the moon with the wheels, so much better than the chrome. I don't know what I was thinking! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Like everyone has said, it looks great with those wheels. What are the sizes and final offsets? Looks perfect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverthorn Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 @Sim the wheel specs are: Front: 19 x 9.5 et15 with a 3mm spacer & 245/35/19 tyre Rear: 19 x 11 et22 with a 15mm spacer & 275/35/19 tyre. I'm planning on going to a 25mm spacer in the rear as that should give me a similar fitment to the Royal Speed Shop 370 I posted previously. Tempted to pop the 15mm spacer in the front and get some adjustable camber arms to fine tune the front end but we'll see. All in good time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Looks great but it’s not helping me with my 16 week wait for my work emotion rims to be custom made. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverthorn Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 @Payco It'll be worth the wait though! Those Emotions are absolutely gorgeous! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverthorn Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 @Payco Yeah I spotted them in one of your threads you made not too long ago. Those, along with the wrap, are going to be absolutely stunning! I can't wait to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverthorn Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Swapped the 15mm spacers on the rear to 25mm spacers. It's fair to say I definitely won't be going any bigger. The fitment couldn't be any more perfect. No rubbing whatsoever as the wheel cambers in just enough to clear at arch under compression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverthorn Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Took delivery of this the other day I dropped it over to Bodyworx to be painted a few days ago so i should hopefully have it back by the weekend! I also had a personalised plate for my birthday the other day so went about fixing my magnets behind the bumper to ensure the plate stayed on properly... All fixed now and working Forgot to get a photo of the plate once i actually put it on though I've already started looking at wheels again as well I think I'm going to keep my current wheels for winter months and at some point in the new year I'm going to start the hunt for a set of Work T7R's in white. Spotted this car on Instagram a month or so ago and absolutely fell in love with it. I've always loved white wheels on a black car so i think I'm going to have scratch the itch soon @Tomh94 if you ever plan on selling your wheels, PLEASE get in touch 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverthorn Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) The new bumper is on. Absolutely over the moon with it Off to infinity exhausts tomorrow to have the new rear section made to mate up with the bumper a little better! Then it's just in need of a good wash FYI for anyone considering doing the conversion themselves. You do not need anything other than the bumper and the tow hook cover. Everything bolts up perfectly with all of the original fittings! Edited November 28, 2018 by Silverthorn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverthorn Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 The new exhaust is on! Sounds soo much better now. Still has the same deep tone to it as before but just with a lot more volume! Finally gave it a quick wash as well so it's ready for the new sunstrip and a few pieces to go on tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
