Possibly the most useful feature I've ever encountered on an aftermarket head unit.

Never thought I would get the chance to see one of these crazy SGS Gullwings in real life, let alone multiples! Absolutely mind-blowing collection at the Patina Collective. – at Lauderdale Lakes, FL

Sometimes the algorithm works its magic and provides something truly epic... 😮😮😮😮😮 Vanilla Ice and Jordan looking around a load of Max Power-era cars, what more could you possibly want on a Friday evening 🤣

This weekend I will be trying to breathe a bit of life back into these wheels, without spending £700+ on a proper diamond cut refurb.

Ran out of time, so will have to finish next week, but this was after a bit more refinement. There is unsurprisingly quite a bit of pitting where the alloy was corroding, but I think it should look okay. Not aiming for perfection, but should transform the car!

The finished(ish) result. All in I spent about £40 (and a couple of evenings not sat staring at my phone) for what I would call a 95% improvement. Interested to see them on the car now!

Very tempted to have a bid on this. I'm sure there will be a flurry of bids at the last minute, but This is currently less than I paid for mine back in 2020... bringatrailer.com/listing/19…

Yes of course I’m interested in your four shitboxes, two of which have no MOT, as full payment for my Ferrari. Good grief the dreamers have arrived.
