Got these done for the wife's ph1

[m&l172ph1]

I bought these from @Stryker a little while ago.
Got them refurb'd and fitted today.

Very very nice!

Looks well looked after

Thanks, She's used it as a daily for 4 years, but the last year it's sat under a storm force cover. Since we had our fourth child. She misses driving it so much!

Just need to sort out some centre caps now.

Headlights do need a little attention. It's having a rear bumper to lose the cut out, and a ktec stealth exhaust a std parcel shelf and a std radio soon.
She's looking forward to us driving both to our new home 500 miles away.

Going to try and get the centre caps 3d printed.

Where u moving to?

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks ace. Love a clean ph1.

Actually, love ph1's!

Nice cars. I decided to buy spangly new headlights for my Ph1 given the price, and the faff of refurbishing with less than brilliant results. Hopefully you have no rust developing on the inside side panels (if you haven't done so yet, remove the rear inside panel and take a look where the rear arch and sill joins).

 

[Ryang556]

Certainly looks the part, PH1's are really growing on me!

 

[Stryker]

Good to see them looking mint mate

 

[KitsonRis]

I want to hate this picture....it makes my Ph1 seem pathetic!!! Haha
Both looking very nice, the new wheels look fresh.

Thanks, mine will end up more of a track/sprint car eventually but she's a nightmare with hers!
Won't park it anywhere, i'm not allowed to drive it unless i have to do something to it!
I'd like to nick her alloy bonnet but i think she'll notice!
I might swap my turbines for some f1's!

Everything looks good in a picture, most of the time it's a pile of s**t.

I wouldn't worry.

Dude if you want the perfect match then your going to have to have them painted.

(I'm sure I've told you this before) [emoji2]

No one paints wheels though. Everyone's powder coating & that's it

If it where me then I'd take them to a blasters and get then stripped.

Glassed blasted, not shot blasted.

Find a good bodyshop and get them wet painted.
It's the only way to get them to your standard, take them to the bodyshop first so they can match the colour.

This way will be expensive, so many wheel companies are hit and miss, one minute they do a good job and the next time there s**t.
