hello mate sorry its taken so long to reply i aint been using this properly for a while. the rim tape was real easy to put on, just need a steady hand. i got it from halfords its called bike wheel tape, it came with a aplicator but i didnt know how to use it.

mini update
well after being sent a real messed up rocker cover that really annoyed me, and got told it was a bin job. i bought my self another one, it came nicely wrapped and was in much better condition that the other one.
it came in yellow so i needed to be painted white. it has now been painted but it is not on the car yet.
i have a strut brace to be deliverd and when that is painted i will fit them together.
when they are fitted my engine bay should be real close to complete.

heres the pics of the rocker cover
When it arrived.

and now it is painted white

Thats one hell of a contrast with the Black car and bright white engine bits!
Got the samco hosing for my old raceland then
Missed the Brake fluid reservoir when cleaning for piccys (Autoglym ftw)
Looks alot better than the bay did look bud!

[kirtisb]

was that meaning u dont like the contrast lol? had to get a new hosing as the one u had was to short. lol yh i c i missed it lol i didnt clean up the engine bay again i just fitted the parts, i didnt have time to clean everything.

[newwy]

liking the car

[Sneakydevil89]

thats a huge difference mate!

looks pretty neat and tidy now. nice one

[Scott-jarvis]

I love the rim tape, its a good contrast, i was going to do that to mine,

[Lippy]

The contrast is great at the moment! Slightly worried for you when the white paint gets dirty, gonna be a nightmare to keep clean I feel... (still polishing my covers all the time is pretty high maintenance too)

Looks good!

[kirtisb]

mmm i got other things to worry about atm,
i snaped a bolt on my drivers side strut and cracked my windscreen, so nothings going to well for me lol

does look good, but makes the wheels look a lot smaller.
