Well, young Mr. Sharkey was brave enough to lend me his pegs to experement with - here goes...

They were all in pretty good nick, although the previous attempt at a referb was beginning to flake. A quick sand and a clean with my magic pink stuff and we were ready to roll...

36 quid in rattle cans (apart from the stuff i use for the silver flek, that stuff costs a bomb - but I get it free).
Get good with masking tape too lol.

when i seen the pics of them sprayed in the yellow primer i cringed worrying they were staying that colour, then thought its still got to look better than having them gay blue ;)

came out well tho :)

As for the 4x4 look, Maybe try some XC90 wheels on it next? ;)

They do look good, hopefully you'll still have them on the car Sunday.....second thoughts don't give them back full stop lol

M-R-P
Monday 9th July 2012, 16:24
I know what you mean mate, I REALLY like them lol.

To be fair, they are a good set of pegs and Sharkey did pay up front for the paint so he'll probably have an interest in getting them back lol.

I'll txt him later and ask if he minds me taking them to hillingdon. Fingers crossed.

Many thanks

Lookin good matey, like the paint job but to be honest, I don't think they're the right wheel for a 4x4 or a V70 - of which yours is clearly both!! (but then again, I put Amaltheas on mine so who am I to judge!!)

Feckin good value tho for a refurb and I bet they sparkle nicely in the sunshine. Think they are too dark for a white car - think gunmetal would be dark enough as the background with siver fleck over, would look the dogs danglies on yours with the Amaltheas.

Bloody good Job martin, although it must be said I think that colour is too dark for a white car.
I agree. I'll throw more silver flek at it when I do my ameltheas so it'll look like gunmetal from a distance and be very 3D up close.

Just thought I need my alloys refurbed Martin *hint hint* ;)
Not on a bloody slover I'm not ;)

You can go off some people ya know...

No worries, I'll giv 'em the ol' Dale Winton treatment... so long as you don't ask me to put them back to a sensible colour after :D

Works out at a lot lot less than £50 per wheel.

RAOTFL :troutslap

Martin, I'm sorry but it is hillarious! If it's any consolation, I had a Smart Car for 2 years. Roughly a week after I got it, Jezza Clarkson was on Top Gear disclosing that it was the car most likely to be purchased by a gay person - so for 2 fekin years, I had to put up with "gay car" every bloody time I saw my mates!

Still, I saw an XC70 D5 AWD earlier and it made me think of you......

Ha ha ha, but my brothers name is Torquil, not Tarquin - get it right!!

So, any progress on your wheels then? Having those others on your car must have given you some time to do yours?? What will it be next - MRP pink, MRP orange or a spot of MRP turquoise??

Luckily, I now have time to scrape up enough cash for the paint.
Possibly MRP gunmetal although I really like the sparkly black.

Tuesday 17th July 2012, 10:45
I'm actually doing the R silver :)
And the center cap isn't mine so I'm not worried lol.
It's when you get bright sunlight on it and move past it it looks like a sort of hologram, where it looks about 2" deep (no I didn't put 2" of clear on it ;))
