I have just bought a demo 50th anniversary and pick it up in a couple of weeks. Really can't wait to pick it up. This is my first Ford I've owned(although I have driven plenty of Ford company cars over the years) I am a Expensive Daewoo fan having come from a VZ V8 and spent loads of $$$ modifying it. But credit where credit is due the G6E Turbo looks to be a great car so I decided to give the Ford a go.I'm having a few things added at the dealer, towbar, matching spare, drilled alloy pedals and also having the wheels done in black. Got a Harrop brake kit and lowered Lovells and Bilsteins on order to be fitted as soon as I pick her up. Looking forward to the first drive,luxury and performance.Has anyone had their factory 19" wheels redone in black?Do you have any photos you could post up?

Henz Tampon inserted, Auto Acquired, next purchase a new handbag Donating Members 9,946 Member For: 17y 1m 6d Gender: Male Location: Vic Posted 05/06/11 07:35 AM Share Posted 05/06/11 07:35 AM Ive seen a company advertising wheels painted from $200. Probably extra to strip & refit tyres but would only be $20 a wheel?Pretty sure there called Bayside customs? Bayside something.

Bayside something.That's about right, $50 a wheel and that would be a low price as many charge much more(here in perth).So to do it all myself it would be at least $350 and I still have a car on blocks in my drive/garage with no wheels(unless I had 4 spares which I don't)To mind the extra I may be paying is worth it compared the extra work/inconvenence I would have to do it myself..
