Who needs a re-re? Egress restore thread!

Go with *****.

Kamtec "stole" a Vanquish body-set and 2001 undertray from me. They DON'T deserve your business.

Oh really?

Well I've had a 959 and top force shell from ***** and both were spot on so I'm happy to use them again :(

They arrived quick!

At least you'll be able to do some test runs now, practice your oversteer control before the winter!

Nope. I've been trying for years and years and years to get my stuff back. In fact I think it's been over a year since I last gave up.

Kamtec is fail. :angry:

Don't!

In years to come it will show that the white wheels will be more rare than the black ones, I promise you. Don't do it :angry:

I'm not really interested in the rarity, I just think black wheels look better on the Egress :angry:

Black or Orange I ask? I've been thinking about using dye to go either black or orange star dish.

At some stage Wez can you post a pic of Eggy with your TF Evo wheels fitted?

I'm pretty sure yours is going to be finished before mine and I think it might look ok.

The Avante Black Edition wheels (orange) with hybrids would look amazing. I can't wait to see these on an Egress.

No problem mate :)

As for rarity, you can bet eventually both the Vanquish and Egress kits will be re-released. That means wheels galore.

Well as another option.....pink Vanquish wheels and hybrid spike tires are comming on the Avante Special Black Edition. :D

Don't like the look of those in that pic, might look a bit better with an improved quality picture.

Like I said the rarity of a model or part doesn't interest me, as long as I think it's cool I'm happy :)

Paint looks like it'll need a day to fully cure in places ?

Yep, will probably leave them for at least 12 hours, do the back then leave overnight and finish them tomorrow. Got a few days off so no rush :)

I don't mean to be negative, but I'm always sad to see people paint wheels :) They'll chip if you run them and then it'll look terrible. Even just for a static shelfer it doesn't look right.

It's better you'd have traded them for some black ones.
