another UPDATE!!!
spent a few hours the past couple of days doing the mags and bonnet ... bonnet was a :D to do coz it had something like 5 or 6 layers of paint and it took a while, 3 coats of paint stripper did most the work but i spent a couple hours today with a wire wheel on a drill finishing it off. anyway here are some pics of the rims and bonnet on the car, might even fix that guard later this week
