Thanks. Rather like the stealth look. Planning to lightly smoke wing mirror indicators (blinkers) when it stops raining. Wheels went into the bodyshop today - opted for black gloss with 3 coats of lacquer, should take about a week as i want the wheels baked and hard before i attempt to put tyres on them.
