    Nice transformation.

    How were the plastic Audi lugnuts covers painted? And do you have a close-up photo of that? I'm curious how they look painted all black without the Audi rings being highlighted in silver anymore.

    The wheels were powder coated matte black, the center caps (being plastic) were painted matte black to match as close as possible. Only time will tell how the center caps hold up...but that's what touch up paint is for. I did the same thing on a SL600 I had before and it worked well.

    They are not as shiny in person as they show in the pics.
