I'd say looking at the pics you've put up, they need a few more coats of lacquer

Thing is I really have thought about it, but I don't think I will as I don't wanna go overkill, carbon would suit the MO's though...

I don't think it'd be overkill, mirrors and bonnet would look superb!

They're shit, apparently it's cause I didn't rub down the primer, but my mate is proper handy with a rattle can and he said he'll do them this Friday when I go round to get my ST brakes fitted, at last!

Maybe, not really thought about it, could get one the colour of my wheels

Yep

Keep building up the lacquer and rubbing back and you'll soon have a nice, shiney finish.

Well I got pictures of them sitting but that was just bolting them on without changing suspension and I need to tweak a bit. I gotta take the rear spacers out, and lift the front a bit, but my tyres got fitted so late I started doing it, then it rained, and losing light, so will do it tomorrow, cannot wait, they look the fucking tits!! Dunno whether to post pics
