Don't want people to see how incompetent I am!! Haha

This could be interesting, I'd imagine that you'd have to remove it at shows to allow for people to right or draw on it.

That's a possibility.

Or have everyone climbing into your car over your white seat to get to the chalk board.

Most certainly not!! White seats are bad enough with just me around ... Haha.
Took the tyres off of the Force wheels. I will be taking the centres out to give everything a good clean up.

The central face looks tiny outside of the rim.

RE: Charlie - Mini Mk3 - Sean1380 - 11-19-2015

Amazing how the alloy under the centre tarnishes.

you could always anodize the rims a silver colour !!

It really does. The two halves look really small without a centre piece in - almost like an ATV rim.

Considering they've been used as a daily rim and been exposed to sea air and the like, I'm quite impressed with how they've stood up to it all.
The wheels were all taken apart today and given a good scrub. I started on polishing the outer and inner halves. Still have some work to do.

Pity about the scuffs from the wheel nuts being put in :

Started to rain while I was working as well :

A little ticked off that the rear windscreen leaks . . .

Also, since one of the D1 wheels needed a leak fix, I thought I should fit it up. This was my original idea - D1 wheels with Grp2 narrows :

Really do love the look of D1 rims
