Had some time last 2 weeks, so did the rims, grille and leather seats on my wife's very bad condition Picanto. Now, it's more sightly. For sharing.

Custom mini-garden in the boot. I think I could be the first to do this.

I'm keeping her car simple and elegant, as told by the missus. No loud mods for her (except the rims). Next will be some simple ICE setup. Gotta wait for one extended free period.

Guess you have background in photography. BTW, "oversized" = too close up, or = car looks bigger than in reality, or = picture size too big?

Oh, I mean the picture size... Background in photography?? I just ventured into this scene... Still hunting around for a reasonably priced SLR... Mostly are priced at high premiums, even for body only...

ccol ride! how much for the leather seats? Thanks, and quite value for money for the new seats considering the old fabric seats got some sperm stains courtesy of the previous owner. $480 only.

Actually I was thinking of selling my old D70. If you are interested, I can throw in the 35-70mm kit lens and another 100-300mm super tele zoom. Cheaper than the D40.

i lov the rims, and your number plate!! Number can be bidded anytime what... For me the previous number sounded a bit inauspicious, so I bidded for it. Makes people think it's a new car too.

The brand is stated above the pictures, but there isn't a model name or no. You can find where to change to chrome rims under the "For Sale" threads. Look for the tyre workshops. But note that there aren't many choices for Taiwanese 15" chrome rims (they are actually chrome plated). And all Japanese 15" chrome rims cost upwards of $2k.
