Haha what ya like  . Oh lovely mate , I've thought about the GTE vents but I've chosen morettes over the vents , I'm on the look out for some at the moment  .
When you reckon they'll be in then ?

Can't see it being cheep to have the vents done unless you know someone in a bodyshop chris  .
Nic  . I love the D90s but they were an impulse buy , sort of bought them without thinking about it  .

I agree with Nic,
They look good, but don't suit the look.
Some gloss black flatspoke comp's (like petrolhead matt) and I would actually cream my pants

Well there's only two people that have done it aint there ? Matt done his own one and I'm pretty sure (please correct me if I'm wrong) that matt done the other one for the other dude that has one too ? But yeah only way you'll get it done is go get some quotes .
Nic at least I'm not the only one that's made a decision they've regretted then . Thanks I appreciate it . Thing is I've spent all my savings that I had on buying these , getting the powdercoated , adaptors , porsche bolts , new tyre and tyre fitment and having them weighted etc . Just wish I bought the morettes that I had my eye on instead and kept the speedlines :/ . Oh well

Same here, regretted a load of stuff I've done to mine, not least 12 sets of wheels and 4 different bumpers
Kinda wish I could start over with a blank canvas.

As dan said , there worth slightly more . Ideally looking for a straight swap but I keep my tyres and they keep there's . Bit of a long shot but that's what I'm looking for .

I think your making the right decision dude.
A set of FLAT comps in gloss black would be awesome! As much as I like the d90's.
Also I could consider getting some.

Couple of pictures whilst i was giving the car its winter protection last weekend
Wheels were Pressure rinsed off and sprayed with AutoSmart Smart Wheels diluted 3-1 , left to dwell for a couple minutes then the faces were agitated with Valet Pro brushes and insides agitated with an EZ wheel brush .
Pressure Rinsed and then foamed with Megs Hyper Wash , whilst the foam was dwelling i went round with a Valet Pro brush and cleaned out all of the nooks and crannies !
Pressure rinsed again and then Shampoo'd with Dodo Juice Born To Be Mild shampoo and a CarPro CQuartz wash mitt
Next up was IronX . Now ive never used the product before the weekend and i had only read about it on "Detailingworld" and heard peoples reviews and so on . The products its self really is very very good but i couldnt stand the smell , IMO it was unbearable . Anyway couple photos of it whilst it was doing its thing ! Couldnt see it turn purple whilst it was on the paint dew to it being a black car but "Fall out" was evident when it started puddling on the floor lol .
And im afraid thats were i stopped taking photos lol . However i then went on to :
Remove any visible Tar spots with AutoSmart Tardis
Snow foam again to ensure all of the IronX and Tardis had been removed
Clay bar'd with Bilt Hamber regular clay
Dried with Chem Guys Wooly Mammoth drying towell
Glazed twice with PoorBoys Black Hole
Waxed once with Dodo Juice Purple Haze (wanted to do 2 coats but ran out of daylight )
Wheels sealed with PoorBoys Wheel Sealent
Tyres and plastics dressed with Chem Guys New Look Trim Gel
Exhaust polished with Autosol
Glass cleaned with cheep Glass Cleaner (need to get some decent stuff)
Interior was :
Hoovered
Plastic bits dressed with Chem Guys DressAll
New Cali Scent  .
Didnt get any photos of the finished product wich is an epic fail i know . Might get some new pics at the weekend
