Helloooooo,

I need help guys, my car is getting a lot of unwanted police attention lately, it matches the description of some other criminal c**ts car and I keep getting pulled - the cops told me to change the appearance of my 'lude because until they catch this other guy, i'm gonna be followed and pulled all the time!!!!

SO.. I removed the die-cut sawblades and fitted these old things:

but now I need to paint them.

I think my choices are:

-White rims with white decals on the windows.
-Black rims and flat black bonnet (with white decals on one side of the bonnet).

Whatever I do it has to stand out and be easily recognisable, but I don't want it to look like some ricey PoS.

All opinions welcome

Cheers guys (n gals)

Peace

ps, can anyone identify these rims?? they have wolfrace centre caps but I can't find them on the net anywhere!

Can the police just ignore your number plate?

/\ I think that's the whole point, if it matches a description, the criminal may have spotted bb1boy's lude and cloned the plate??? It happens more than you think.

Sounds a royal PITA though. Although is a good excuse to explain why I need to modify my lude - oh wait it hasn't left the garage for over a year - that's that plan screwed.

As for opinions on the wheels, can't see the pics in work, but I'll take a looksy later. 8-)

Cheers,

Rob

White on white always works bud.

How about a bumper sticker on your rear saying "I'm not who you think I am" as well? :P

Yeah, I think white on white will stand out nicely.. I told the cops i'm gonna get an "I didn't do it" sticker for the rear screen, they said good idea!!! they also said they can't take the marker off my car until the case is closed or my car no longer resembles the car they're looking for... and its not the plate they're looking for, its a white prelude ..bastards. I was contemplating snow-cammo'ing the whole fekkin car...!!

Or make sure you keep a receipt of everytime you get stopped and then place a formal harassment complaint against the police they will soon remove the marker on your car.

Reminds me of getting pulled as a grey sports Honda had been seen racing and Mr police man was going to confiscate my car with no evidence . Untill a nice done up atr came strolling past with me pointing and saying oh look at that what are the odds ? So I mearly said am I free to go or would you like to go down the misconduct route ?

Police do a fine job but are human and make mistakes and some of them are just arses

I have been told that I SHOULD be left alone by the end of next week ..the bar-stewards have been following me since October!! ..if this carries on anymore then I can see a compo-claim in the pipeline.

Anyway, anyone have any luck identifying those rims for me yet? I can't find them on the net anywhere :(
