What's up at home today...?

I got very annoyed with my wheel covers because they were old and damaged.
So I cleaned them, used primer and then paint. In these photo's they are still drying and they will get of few layers of clear coat.
Thought I would try black Will make a pic of them on the car tomorrow, after the front shocks are replaced.

I would randomly hang those in my room

I just hope it looks a bit nice on the car, if not I can always paint them silver again (or send them to you Flo).

So I was at the garage and it turns out it wasn't my shocks...
The guy took a look, thought it was strange he saw nothing and took a short drive. He came back and said he doubted it were the shocks so he put them on a test bench and the shocks were fine, not good as new but good enough. Turns out my right front brake caliper was a bit loose and this made the noises I heard.

2 other mechanics looked at this, one is a friend and he thought it was the stabilizing rod but wasn't sure, so we went to a friend of his with a garage who had a lift and also took a test drive and he was sure it was the shock. So both were wrong... I am very happy with the guy who looked at it today and was willing to actually test stuff before he did an expensive repair, now it cost me 30 euro and not 250...

Anyway, problem solved!
What do you guys think of the black wheel covers? Cloudy today here so the photo is a bit dark. Keep it like this or make them silver again?

The silver wheels covers are more beautiful for me.
