|
About damn time!
Ahaha, nice Andrew! Rims will look sweet! |
Cx7 wheels will look good, how much do they weigh?
|
looking pretty sweet andreww :)
|
Can you resize with out having to upload the photo's in a smaller scale?
|
in photobucket you can. not sure about tinypic.
|
the CX-7 looks awesome on your car dont know if its cause there almost the same colour or the amount of work you've got to now do to make them fit but BIG THUMBS UP !!!
|
$175 Thats a bargin, Mine were almost scratch free when I got them, Paid $400 for mine even though they were on ebay and other people wanted them, got in quick when i seen them and messaged the seller saying pick them up on weekend with cash in hand, Youve done realy well.
|
You just have to find a seller that doesnt know what they are worth ;) I paid $165 for my set of CX7's way back in 09 as the bloke I bought them off of had put fullysickasbro 22's on his black CX7 :rolleyes:
|
yay all fixed it's readable now lol sorry for that everyone.

so i finnished removing the black stips off the doors that you can see in all the other pics and the mud flaps , i should of done the mud flaps when i first got the car looks so much better
http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/.../phone2010.jpg and you'll se the after shots in the next photos:) the removal of the strips was easy as just hit the edge with a hair dryer untill it was hot and then it just peeled off http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/.../phone2019.jpg http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/.../phone2018.jpg so that was the easy bit then came the garstly challange of removing the sticking adhesive and glue :| http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/.../phone2027.jpg http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/.../phone2020.jpg http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/.../phone2025.jpg so as excited as i was to sit there an peel it off, i recived a message of azz ( bg1.8sp) to get a bloody caramel wheel. and so i did and thank god i did, took about an hour to have it all striped back and polished up :) http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/.../phone2030.jpg http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/.../phone2035.jpg http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/.../phone2036.jpg i also recived my clear side indicators aswell but i hated them so i just tinted the original orange ones and i'm very happy:) http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/.../phone2039.jpg |
looking clean did u find your doors sound "tinnie" after removing the strip?
|

|
coz trents went tinnie?
|
yer it sounded different to mine after he did it. but i may just paint mine
|
Nice to see my suggestion helped ;)
Told ya it would save a whole heap of time! Looks fantastic tho dude... Wish I could remove mine :( |
Looking good bud,well done :)

They look great man. So much cleaner looking :) Cant wait for the wheels! |
Because my rear right door has been previously resprayed so I started on that one and as suspected when I lifted the corner it took the paint up with it...
So just waiting for the respray to take them off |
Thats the same with me too :(
|
Very clean, and mines tingy too, Cant wait to see them CX7's on it :D

yer my RH rear door i believe has had a clear coat respray there's a little step on clear around where the strip use to be but that's like one of the good things with the colour it's not really noticeable unless you get fairly close to it, but yer doors aren't tinniy at all.
i can't wait to get the cx7 either as soon as rego is paid and i get everything to do the 5 stud conversion they will be on:) i'll try and be really detailed and take heeps of photo's for anyone else looking to do the conversion, what do use reakon keep them in allow or get them powder coated black?? i think i'll use that stuff you told me to use first for a couple of weeks after i get them on azz |

sprayed mine black, reckon looks better than normal alloy silver, also if you get them painted/powder coated you can take the M out of the centre cap, use a small flatbladed screwdriver gently and they should pop right out
|
Loving the Makita springs :p When I first read that I was like "never heard of them?!" and proceeded to Google them... it was only when I read your first post a second time when I realised that theyre choppies :p hahaha
|
Yeah but it's a wierd colour... And black and silver will both look good... But he just hasn't decided yet.
Hence why I suggested to buy a couple of cans of plasti dip. Spray the rims to give an idea... If you don't like them black peel it off. If you like it... Go get them powder coated. |

i don't know if there any good but they sell black ones on ebay like fully ready to clip in center caps with the chrome mazda M emblem Quote:
they actually don't handle to bad ay now that i have some working shocks:) Quote:
yer i don't know coz i'm blacking everything on my car and it's probly look more jdm but then at the same time i like really classy/easy to look at style as well, thats why i'm not sure :( |
Quote:
I cant wait to see the CX7 wheels on the car though :D |
Quote:
hey wait I could have sworn i had wheels on my car... |
It's the same though I had with mine.....
Was going black black black.... Which gives it that more aggressive stealth look... But I just needed a Highlight as such... Making everything black takes away from eye catching things... So the silver rims brought that back! Hmmmmmmm I has an idea........... This up comming mod day... Do a rim swap session... You can put my rims on yours (just don't drive off with them) give you an idea of silver... And if someone is willing put some black 18's on Andrews car.... Actually... Do one side my rims and one side black rims and compare! |
Lol hammo,
Your an ideas man azz, i know what i'm going to do, just powder coat 2 rims and do one side black and one side, silver, and then when i want change just put all the black on the rear or a colour on each corner lol, i got it hopefully i'll have the 5stud conversion done my then so we can put jess on :) |
I'm keen for this new read! Haha
|
i just uploaded my photos and relised i have no final product on anything i've done haha, well be doing it tomorrow now lol after i have taken some photos :)
