Can you not flat them with a bit of sandpaper and water then buff them up mine did it slightly when I done my lights but flatted them down and buffed them back up and they came out alright

So your tuckin 15's, that's cute but come back to me when you get some proper size wheels

so got some new wheel studs in
[Image: IMG-20130227-00060_zps541b7708.jpg]

good bit longer, almost too long because im using tuner nuts so mite not beable to get key in with nuts fully screwed in, but before hit tht problem had an absolute handiling tryna get them on got some nuts tht matched the threads and tryed to screw the studs into the hub but just cud not get them to come through cuz was just using a ratchet and socket but the hub was free so was very hard to tighten them, ended up just having to pop old studs back in which was easy enugh to do which makes me think mayb the new studs wernt rite altho think it would hav been alot easier with an impact wrench but instead of gettin one of those or takin it to a garage decided on a new plan, was just catching the very edge of the brake caliper holder so decided just to grind the edge off this is it before

The studs will be right, I found the best way to get them in is by packing them with washers between hub and the nut, they do pull on though

alrite guys been busy got a fair few updates on the car, first of all got aload of the wee smd lights and did me dash lights
[Image: IMG-20130308-00067_zps3579ebff.jpg]

[Image: IMG-20130308-00067_zps3579ebff.jpg]

looks so much better and was so easy to do, relly needa change heater controls as well now, also got some blue wheel nuts for me alloys,

[Image: Coleraine-20130408-00082_zpsac64057b.jpg]

look well like and they r so much better than the crappy tuner nuts that came with the car altho had to get breaker bar just to keep in the car as its 19mm socket, also decided to switch number plates round to square plates, rear was easy just take old one off and pop new ones on and done

[Image: Coleraine-20130408-00080_zps124b1322.jpg]

front was abit more of a challenge as once i took the old ones off and got rid of the wee black surround left with 2 big holes either side of the bumper

[Image: Coleraine-20130407-00076_zps24a29044.jpg]

so added a wee bit of filler and got it all sanded down
[Image: Coleraine-20130407-00077_zps913c4956.jpg]

then painted it all up and poped it back on also poped a wee tow strap in the front
[Image: Coleraine-20130408-00079_zpsa15a9cc6.jpg]

looks ten times better in my opinion so this is how car looks now,

obviously still need new front light but not to bad, all comments welcome
