Picked up my NHB EP3 in feb an she looked like this (minus the carbon bonnet)

Then got my Gruppe M

Then my Tar-Ox discs and Redstuff pads

Then i picked the wheels up from ESP on fri morning (looking hawt!! ), and picked up my springs on the road home. Then popped in2 Halfrauds for sum spray paint for the centre caps. 7 coats of paint (to hide the red H) an 2 coats of laquer an the centre caps were a fu*kin near match!
It got lowered 35mm on Apex springs on sat morning aswell. A subtle drop i think.

I like that - I also like the bravery in doing something bold with the alloys like that - nice one fella

Hi mate, It`s good to see you have a sense of humour

Too many folk go on the offensive when someone criticises their car :wink:

As I said the wheels don`t do It for me mate (white would be cool)

Jase.

TBH, i started out wantin white when i first got it, then i changed my mind because it was so popular. So it was a toss up between kawasaki green or orange. An as i've seen a few with kawa green wheels, it had to be orange.

Plus, every1 is entitled to their own opinion.

Cheers for the comment peeps.

hated the orange wheels at first but actually like the look now, goes well with the black, don`t think you could pull it off with the other colours.

did you do a photoshop beforehand to see what it`d be like?

very brave...paid off though

Wow.

That looks pretty good, but I reckon it needs some orange highlights elsewhere, some coachlines maybe just to balance it out.

How about orange trim around the front side windows (the 'L' shape bits)... I reckon that would be

as mince!

Or maybe some black detailing on the wheels, like I said, just for balance.
