    Starcop fusions look good as long as you have plenty of tyre black on your tyres

    yeah tvr that looks nice as im changing colour of my car though.. so i need something to suit that too :/ my boot lock shit itself.. so im sanding back the whole boot (clear coats peeling off, looks derro as lol) bog it, then paint it black, (i plan on trying my hardest with this.. i want it to be good..) an if it come out nice i'll paint the whole car black in a few months. i looked at some "speedy" rims or something.. not sure if they're cheapos or not, but saw a set i thought i liked, scetched it up with em on my car and it looked shiiit. so dunno :/ thinking maybe the centerlines.. expensive as shit, but they'll be nice lol

    edit; also, how much paint will i need to paint my boot? (and clearcoat, and primer..) apparently autobarn have this new paint stuff thats meant to go like twice as far with the same amount.. so its more expensive. but apparently it dont work, and its all they sell... anyone know if its good or shit? or something? lol..

    A litre or two to cover any f** ups, I presume your using a gun not pps right?

    I always buy more than I need though because you never know when you'll need it, but considering your repraying it soon your better off to just get the right ammount for the job.

    The BEST wheels i have ever seen on a commodore has to be the VN with VP back (I think) in the pics of vn,vp etc. its on page 26 (as i have no idea what they are called)

    They have black centres with chrome lip. it looks so sexy.

    Sorry if this causes confusion
