Very aggressive looking Scooby dontommy. Really like it
Thanks lads for the nice comments!
@p1impreza I got mine aerosols from hereL http://www.iplastidip.ie/
Its called Metalizer and its actually a COPPER METALIZER.
This is a very nice video, That shows different finishes based on different undercoat. I used black and originaly wanted that nice metallic copper finish but when I sprayed only 2 coats it turns dark bronze and I loved it.

I got the wheel nuts from Poland. We have there an online page called allegro.pl very similar to eBay. They were on a great price but he had limited items and I don't see them anymore. If you look hard you can find them. jdmparts.ie have them on a great price but when I mail them they had only P1.5 not P1.25(that we need) Link for reference:

I have to say that they are cast iron and they have that solid heavy feel to them and the greatest thing apart of looking great is that the locking key goes inside the nuts and doesn't touch the wheel which was very important as plasti dip is very easy to damage and peel.

@keith, @midlandbe5, chris139ryan - thanks
@sheriff cheers, I do love them but running wide/concave wheels and stretched tires comes on a price. And I have them curbed, hence the plasti dip
@JohnyRA - From the day one I say I want this to be black wide and mean looking and I hope Im heading this way.
Tyres from Oponeo 99E for 225/40 they came all the way from Germany. I wont skimp on tyres but I have the Vorti for the last 2 years as a daily driver on back roads and I cant fault them. Actually the get better feedback that the Eagle F1:

Did a tyre shop stretch them for you? Some people would be cautious.

Very nice. How do you find the opc. Always had an eye for them
I have my one about three years. It's an excellent daily driver. Loads of power. And like anything if you look after it, it will look after you.
