Done the fronts now and looks a milllion times better with just normal red paint on stuff. I sprayed them with ag engine cleaner and use a sponge and hot water and washing liqiud and wernt even that bad. Took me less than 5 mins each side. Just need to get some more paint to do rears.

Why you think that mate? Saw a 106 on here who had blue arches on blue car and could see the arches through the wheels and look very good. Will see when get it back on wheels.

i dunno, just look more standard with black, and i spose i have a black car so if i had made my wheel arches the colour of my body it would be black...lol
