mk6 wheels makeover

[Brains_transit]

i decided to finally spray my wheels satin black and use ford fiesta wheel trims but i also like them just black with no trims. so i popped the tyres off the front lip as i have the machine that way i could spray right into the edge and wouldnt risk damaging the paint if i took them right off.

rubbed down and in primer


satin black


the trims


my van without trims to let the paint harden

You have even done the rust the same as mine.

tidy up the paint work is next on my list aswell as restore the bumpers with a heat gun.

I know,and I still cant find a calibra bumper at a decent price.Thinking of round fogs now but need to sort out rust and reversing camera first.

ive put my old dash panel in then my old stereo back in as im selling the van so my dash no longer looks like this.

I wouldn't bother using heat gun on the bumpers....

I did mine and it doesnt take long for them to look even worse than they did before! They are covered in whitish blotches now.

I wonder if non genuine Ford bumpers are worth looking at? I've seen a few on ebay etc

cheers your the second person to tell me that so i was thinking of using peanut butter or a year ago i used this plastic treatment stuff on mk1 golf bumpers and they came up rich in colour from dull grey.

Hi have a non genuine bumper on my connect and 2 years later its white on the top upward facing bit so i thought genuine would stay black longer. seemed to loss colour last winter with all the heavy frost and snow

tried expensive bumper care stuff on mine but if they are going white i think you are wasting your time as it made no difference to mine
