I just wanted to show off my powdercoated C5Z06s UPDATED with new pics!!!

Like that color. Really would like to see some mounted pics.

As soon as the weather here in the UK gets better, snow/ice melts I'll get the wheels mounted and post some pics.

bene · 02-21-2012, 02:28 PM

I'll be adding these soon as well.

Looks good! Although I generally dislike that style wheel, I really like that color.

On a side note, it must be alot of fun driving your Camaro around the UK....you must get lots of looks, I bet you don't see too many around.

What kind of reaction do you get? Are folks over there brainswashed by TopGear that anything with a solid rear is rubbish? lol

Thanks! The camaro gets the same reaction as an avg car guy react to a Lamborghini back in the states.

TopGear is just a show to them over here. Most of the Brits drive econo boxes on the road here.

Haha, that must be alot of fun.

I've been watching lot of BBC lately, and damn, there are some crazy small cars there! Yeah, half those cars I couldn't bring myself to drive.

I like all the diesels though, I wish we had more here.

Rims look awesome on the car.

If I may make a suggestion tho.

Often time darker rims tend to blur detail especially in low or indirect light.

As such, I'd suggest some chrome lugnuts. They'll match your stainless camaro insert on the berger panel, and give the rim a bit of detail.

That's a mean set up you got goin there! Looks awesome.

Funny you said that...

Those lugnuts covers were chrome. I tried them on and they looked out of place so off they went and painted them the same color as the wheels.

But you are absolutely right with the detail when it's low light or cloudy outside. I took those pics when it was exactly like that. That one time the sunlight came through clouds the metallic flake would pop from the wheels.

I'll be moving back to the states in 1.5 yrs so that will fix that problem.

Thanks, I appreciate the comment.

Haha, looks like Lords Walk in Lakenheath! I used to live on Feltwell. When I had my camaro there I was a jackman on the Rockingham ASCAR circuit and would drive my camaro there. The drivers for the stock cars wanted to drive my car.

Love the color....can't wait to see it when its all done.

It is in Lords Walk. I don't know when or what year you lived here in the UK but I'm pretty sure it's still the same as it was back then.

Thanks!

All the houses are now built even in RAF Feltwell. If you get orders here, it is now MANDATORY to live in base housing including LORDS WALK E-1 to E-6 no ifs or buts.... Annnnd new BIG BX (similar to KMC mall minus lodging) and indoor pool are under way for construction...
