Ideas for 2010

So as you may well know, VIP is a fledgling scene in the UK and Europe, and as the effective "ambassador" for it, I am striving to keep on pushing the scene as forward as possible, before its even taken off!

I've already pushed the boat out with some full custom metal archwork on both the front and the rear, and the controversial "10 puddle lights per sideskirt" but now I'm thinking that even though I rock one of the few sets of DR302 Garsons on the continent, I still need to set myself aside from everyone else with these rims.

Since they've been damaged and they're apart at the moment, I'm thinking of painting the dishes in the body colour, but keeping the chrome spokes. I want to keep the spokes chrome to keep the whole classic "black and chrome" theme going.

Another thing, what do people make of Garson, who like to put Swarovski Crystals on everything? I'm thinking of something that will, again, push the scene further in relation to these. I've always thought that crystals were tacky personally, but if one was to use something else...

Don't paint lips body color. That's the worst idea ever. Your wheels have huge lips, show them off.

Once I get my wheels back, I'll get a photoshop going on. I saw some big dished Fabulous wheels that had a matt black outer wheel, which looked pretty sweet.

My other idea was to take the Garson and Swarovski theme further, with the usage of real diamonds. Now i'm aware that "bling" is a big thing on the DUB scene and wouldn't want to cross-reference the two scenes. The cost of diamonds isn't so much an issue as I work with a diamond dealer occasionally, and they're not all that expensive if you're in the know =)
