I take it we consider Neil`s car as shown in the entry photo with his old wheels, not as now is with those new wheels......

Dave's car gets my vote. Can't stand Neil's with the new alloys fitted, so there was no chance it was getting an X in the ballot box. |

Very hard to make a decision this month, they're all stunning 190's I've gone with Green190, I think the colour and the grey alloys look superb

Looking through the line up, Wow, what a range of 190's. I think there is only myself on steel wheels and trims...everyone else is sporting some wonderful alloys. If anybody thinks 190's are 'lack-lustre' they really need to look at this months collection...brilliant chaps, everyone Good luck to everyone....

hi mate. to smooth the grille i removed the badges and welded the holes. The small holes left by the small flat badge just weld with a tack each and the top big hole i welded a plate into it, ground it up and hey presto. I do prefer the look plus with the big star on there, i think its too much with the top star and the small flat badge. plus the pikeys can't nick the star!!

I just used a Mig welder to do the job, it welded to the frame perfectly. I finished up by carefully grinding up the welds to achieve a smooth level surface so i didn't have to use filler. It took about 15mins to do. I believe the frame is chromed steel but anybody feel free to correct me. |

Lots of great cars as usual, so I vote on the best photograph. (Hint: rubbish bins etc in background unlikely to get my vote ;-)) Good action perspective, a feeling of movement even though car is stationary, effective light and shade... daveronimo! |
