Yeah, I'm not really a fan of those rims, or any others that Arden has shown.

No nice spokey type design to show off the brakes / calipers etc!
Thats my thoughts anyway.

RE: Clean X
Man.........I'm just soooo into my X at the moment Aquill.......I seem to be spending every waking minute on it...lol
What'd you think of the valve caps? I'd prefer Jag ones but they only seem to have them with the green leaper......doesn't really go with the colour scheme[&:]

They look nice but there is a stuff looking like a watch maker's screwdriver lol. And there is a hole that protrudes side of the eachcaps .I assume there is connection between that screw driver thingy and the hole lol [&:].

Fit the valve cap onto the thread n tighten, then take " the screw driver thingy" ....lol............and put into "hole" to tighten the little locking screw in there and Bingo.........no more missing valve caps[sm=happy046.gif]

RE: Clean X
Detailed the A6 today......looks great
I used the Sonus tyre dressing gel and the Sonus Total eclipse interior detail spray. Wow!!
These products are fantastic.....A much better finish that back to black n the like and no stickiness. Just a nice matt black finish
Anyway.......the delivery from Wurth came a short while ago so I'm off to refinish my rims

The are the samer type of valve caps I bought to stop them getting stolen.Never been stolen since with the ant theft screw in the side tightened up.Mine have the Jag logo in white, green jag emblem and chrome edging...never seen the ones like yours Jim which look the part.

I also had ones prior to this, the hexagon ones that you could tighten with a spanner or similar. Came back to the car one day after my sons football to see 3 kids scarpering from my car on their bikes. They musta had bloody pliers or sumthin[&:].......3 of em were gone[:@][:@]
No probelms this far with this type.
I also have the chrome ones Buck with the Jaguar leaper in green. I really woulda liked to have kep them Jag to be honest, but the green just doesn't go with the Zircon, for me anyway.
Cant wait to get my refurbed rims back on the car ( wait till you see them Buck, they're really good and look OEM too ) calipers painted, wheel wells cleaned and valve caps on......should look great. This weekend all being well.......I'll take picutres.......just dont be too critical or you'll hurt my feelings...lol

Hey bigs I like the jag green with any color of jag...they have to go considering thats jags color...I was looking at those arubas cuz they were cheap! Like I was getting 3 rims and a lot of tire tread left on the tires for like 300 I think...but the guy never called me back...thats the only reason I was considering rims at that point...now its other things that are more important at this point...
