Kingstons J's Racing DC5

[kingstondc5]

I can imagine what the people on here are going to think but their you go...

I wouldnt normally do this but... After spending the best part of 4 hours cleaning, im well happy with the results. Didnt clay bar it this time round though used the following method/products;
2 bucket wash with meguirs shampoo
Mers polish
Autoglym Extra Gloos
Meguirs NXT 2.0 Wax

The results and this is why blue is better than white;

[mitchipoo06]

love it, the little carbon 'fins' look cool.

But orange wheels? Cant help but think they would look better black or antharacite! (spelling?)

You appear to have an Albatross living nearby.


Looks alright, but the wheels a tad too bright for my tastes and it looks a little lost without the badge on the front. Out of curiosity what makes it a J's Racing DC5?

dont quite get the albatross comment... but in real life the wheels arent as overpowering. Just the bodykit really, 90% the full J's Aero Package, last 10% is the side skirts that i didnt like

The presumably white Japanese writing vinyl's look like a giant bird st from some angles... at first glance.

I'd keep the orange wheels, by the way. They sit quite comfortably on this car.

It would be awfully boring if everybody was the same, what?

[Flying machine]

DC5's are fantastic cars - especially in that colour - not sure I get the 'racing' bit either. If it were mine I'd have kept the anthracite wheels on or re-finished the CTR orange ones in that colour

[smithmi81]

I recognise that car, I believe I use to chat to you on the itr-dc5 site. I used to have a 51 playe blue dc5! What was your previous car!?

[SXi Lad]

I bloody love it. Wheels look great. Give us a shout once youve finished with it.

[bazking69]

Are bright coloured wheels the in thing at the moment then? I have noticed it alot in the last few months or so.

[AlexVTR]

Loving the orange wheels ! unique

[RossB_eg4]

Looks really good from behind, but i'm really not a fan of EP3 wheels on DC5's, just isn't for me.

Still a DC5 at the end of the day though so you've got a good car there mate

[kingstondc5]

Wildcard - Jap writing = Good luck, apparently only the J's bodykitted cars are allowed to have them so i thought why not

Fot those not sure of the Racing bit, J's Racing is the tuners name, bit like Mugen, Spoon, Buddyclub etc

Yeah mike i remember you, before that was the seicento but owned this for 5 years now

Baz - I went orange about 2 years ago, but your right it is getting common though i dont really see that many unless you go to a track/car meet. Mine are shod in semi-slick rubber so...

Ross - I agree there are better wheels out there like the OEM's thatd be better done in orange however at the time when the funds where limited, i was able to get these (unpainted) plus tyres for £200

[Connor_scotland]

Not a fan of the DC5 but your one is lovely mate.

Stick with the orange wheels they really do suit the car :-)
Nice spec aswell. I bet VTEC sound lovely when it kicks in.

Loving the Autobot logo

I was toying with taking my Seat badges off the front & rear & replacing them with a Decepticon badge!

I have one on the Scooby aswell lol

[stew-S160]

the darker wheels look good. don't think the EP3 wheels suit the DC5 at all.
