Soz, the hub centres are stock, it's anything that isn't the face of the alloy that's dark.

Paul, I should get her back Friday then I'll be rebuilding her after panels and paint. Next meet after that (unless I'm passing by you I might pop round)

There are definitley a couple of styles for the centres as my winters have the dark grey ones (no chrome around the edge) but the summers are lighter I think (wrapped them in carbon vinyl years ago) with chrome surrounds.

Can get the PN for the winters easily enough but will have to do your own due dill as the winters are 18s & have never tried to swap the caps.

I went to see my honey today to see how it's going......

Image

Image

A little filler around the new panel joins and on crease on boot lid where bumper pushed up on it.

Image

Image

Smooth boot floor and top view of new panels. When I opened the boot I first thought too much filler :( Then looked again and noticed its a different colour to the filler on boot lid, looked closer and had a 'feel' and its a coat of filler primer :)

So excited I could rip a tissue!

So, I picked her up today.......

Bit of a malfunction with the bumper, I may sort it or leave it as is not sure yet. I'll see what it looks like when completed but an easy fix if I don't like it.

Image

No prizes for guessing what I'll be doing for the next few days :)
