This is quite cool in a nerdy sort of way. Open it up to full screen, then drag your mouse to view a full 360 around the car as a Mercedes F1 W05 bimbles out of the garage and does a handful of laps around Silverstone.

 

Mercedes clicky

That site is not so good for us less endowed DSL internet users  

If it were on YouTube I do quite well streaming through Roku though.

Ouch! 

 

Here's a pic of the repaired wheel. I ended up painting the whole edge of the rim, couldn't get the colour exact, but only someone with a keen eye would perhaps notice the difference in shades of silver. I also painted all the rest of the wheel so they all matched, one other wheel had a small kerbing as well, but not as bad as the picture above. At least they look better than seeing chunks of metal missing.

I would simply say you did a great job!    Could you come to Hamburg to do the same on my wheels? 

[Simon350S]

Nice one Owen!

[Jacques]

well done. What about the shine on the other Wheels? Are they ball blasted on the edge or are they painted?

 

Kind regards,

Jacques.

My wheels have been redone since I've owned the car, properly powder coated. The wheels are powder coated black, then painted with liquid silver paint, then finally powder lacquer coated.

 

The repairs I've done are just off the shelf Hycote acrylic paint. I used aluminium finish as it seemed the best for colour match, although the lacquer does darken it down when applied.

Some solutions if you are missing any of these options from your car

That aircon through the window is just genius.

[Simon350S]

It is pretty fab

Personally, I'm gagging for a cup holder in the MR2, but that one doesn't look like it'll hold a coke can or bottle very well.... Does make me want to come up with a humerous solution now though

I love the guy show-boating at the end!

 

Reminds me never to buy a car with a Nurburgring sticker on the back.
