   I have a couple of quid on my paypal account, was going to buy a few stickers but thought id buy some rim tape instead.
   
   What colour do you guys reckon? I was thinking of white & then I could do my chevron and badges to match, Or I could get some lairy colour like orange?
   
   Here is a pic of my car

   cool, Also these wheel balancing clips that were put on when having my tyres done, whats the crack with them? I take it if there removed the wheel will need balancing again? So I have to leave them on?

   Yer they should be left on. They are normally put on the inside of the wheels that you cant see. where they on the rim on yours?

    you can get magnet weights for wheel balencing to go on the inside but you have to ask and pay extra for them.
    i think you should go for white but it might not stand out as much as u may like

    you can take the clips off yourself, then hammer them back on in roughly the same position on the inside of the wheel...
    
    bit of a bodge but it does the job
