    The paint is more security lol, it causes retinal burns :)

    As for the front bar... a replacement is currently being searched for

    EDIT: rims will be replaced by something with DISH too

    After loosing 3 sets of wheels of his car (not a ZX), oldmate did a really simple mod to stop it happening again......


    changed the wheel studs and nuts over to lefthand thread......

    that phucked em
    :D


    Oh.... by the way, know a bloke that "borrows" wheels on a fairly regular basis, no locknut can stop him, so dont waste your time or $$$ fitting a locknut that wont even slow down a professional thief.

    I watched him remove my old Walkinshaws with expensive lock nut fitted, I couldnt even tell when he was undoing the locknut in comparison to a normal nut ......

    his tip ......
    drill a small hole through each nut then run a wire through the holes and twitch it at he ends.
    It may sound simple but its the task of removing the wire that will deter most profesional wheel theives, too much time to take = to great a risk

    ;)
