The blue looks like a good match for the momo wheel. have you got any closer pics of it, and what paint did you use?

There is not one for an XR. All the chrome ones come with the indent for the button.

Chroming plastic is not cheap. A button at $30 is cheaper than getting it plastic chromed.

lol , you could allways use some of that chrome leaf flake ( comes in gold too ) , allthough it probably need a coat of clear over it just to make sure it lasts forever , it would probably also give a hammertone chrome finish , could be interesting ??

I would imagine it would probably look a bit like the effect given off on galvanised sheeting , except in chrome / same pattern effect though . I know you can get this stuff from places like 'Spotlight' , in the craft section .

I might have to get some and try it on something plastic / bit of scrap / and see what the effect is like. I want something that looks professional though , no dodgy looking stuff. Im thinking it would look quiet good ...hmmm.

yeah keep me updated on how your experimenting goes, Anyway another question of mine is that the rear parcel shelf in the centre, right under it there is a subwoofer whole ready to be cut and installed, should I go ahead and install the subwoofer in that area (meaning I have to cut a hole in the rear shelf.) or am i better of just getting a seperate one installed inside the boot, along with an amp etc etc
cheers.
