Longest build time in history? Posts: 1,533 Group: Members Member #2 Joined: November 2, 2005	Matt black looks dirty all the time on wheels, My best mates Lohan Tuned Mini Cooper S had them and they just looked crap all the time. He'd gone to the expense of having them coated like that, and now has gone back to gloss, much much better i promise.
