Cyclone refurb for my 306 :) - Keeno123 - 11-08-2013
Bought a set of cyclones off a friend for £40 picked up 4 literally brand new tyres 195/50/15 for £5 a tyre, now I'm in the middle of refurb inc them to gloss black for my moonstone 306
Wheels all rubbed back ready for priming

All primed ready for a coat of paint
One wheel all finished. 2 costs of primer, 3 paint and 2 of lacquer

No point taping valve cause I've sprayed them black anyway
I used macsalvors trade etching spray, best I've used and only like £8 for a 500ml tin. Then macsalvors trade gloss black. £4.40 for a 500ml tin (does all four wheels easily) then the macsalvors trade lacquer lol, so the whole job just cost me under £20 haha

I used the card trick works quite well
Halford laquer is pretty good need 3-4 coats of it though

Yeah I found the cards are a lot better than trying to mask it off and spray

Update
All cyclones are finished and on, coilovers are on too, being lowered to the right height tomorrow and also the backs being lowered to match
Had bit of trouble getting the drop link off so had to cut off the bolt with the Torx inside as the Torx had rounded off :/
£22 later, new drop links on.
More pics tomorrow when it's lowered

New wheels on
Carbon wrapped the bump strips and front badge to follow the black theme.
Just the torsion bar and front ride height to sort out properly and it should be done.....for now.
Opinions please

looking better

Thanks piggy
Wasn't too sure about the bump strips but they don't look too bad, think theyll grow on me
Just need to get the back a bit lower, possibly take the tow bar off.
Looking for a new back and front bumper as mines seen better days :/
Front could probably just benefit from a resprayed but the backs got a couple cracks :/
