   Well i messed it up so ive decided to filler and spray them but im not sure what colour my saxo is a 5 door flat arch in silver. I know the standard alloys look w**k but until i can afford to buy fresh alloys they will have to do. So any suggestions with images would be ace .

   well hit them with a p40 sanding disk then 80-120-180-240-400-600-800-then wet n dry 1200. then get some polishing compound on a machine polisher and take your time. it takes a while tho

   just rub em down spray and lacquer em. would be easier if you know someone with an air compressor tho.
