Going For Gold!
Hi Guys
Since I've nearly refurbed all the Brakes and just waiting to get some New Calipers, I just thought why stop there and was thinking of getting my set of Celebration Speedline Wheels re polished or diamond cut
Then I had and even better or maybe worse idea, which was to have those Celebration Wheels Powder Coated in Gold to compliment the Morocco Red Paintwork
Good idea or not?

For those of you abroad who may not be aware of the term Essex Girl, this might help explain it.
I'm sure that there are many regional variations around the world.

So let me sum up:
Percentage in favour of gold bling wheels: 0%
Percentage against gold bling wheels: 100%
Of course, we know all the naysayers are just Russian bots. I'm sure Trump would approve of gold rims. I actually asked him, and he agreed.
"I will bling some great rims -- and nobody blings rims better than me, believe me --and I'll bling them very inexpensively. I will bling some great, great rims on my smooth Jagger, and I will make Essex pay for that bling. Mock my words."

I'm reminded of a very dark period in the 70s and 80s when Americans were in love with all-things-gaudy-and-garish on their cars, higher end models most commonly....with manufacturers only to willing to give them what they wanted, naturally.
Gold Packages. Brougham Editions. Padded tops. Faux spare tire humps. Faux convertible tops. Biarritz Packages. Diamond Editions. Limited Editions. Louis Vuitton Editions. Overstuffed, tufted, velour seats. And opera lamps. And coach lamps. And filigree-etched glass. And wire wheel hubcaps with whitewalls. And...and...and......
It was the pimp-mobile era, I'm tellin' ya !
Cheers
