Adam Kindness · 22-05-2005, 09:45

BlackIce · 22-05-2005, 09:59

Black alloys look the nuts!

Adam Kindness · 22-05-2005, 10:04

i hate black alloys....

BlackIce · 22-05-2005, 10:10

Black alloys are the way to go...!!

racingsnake2 · 22-05-2005, 10:10

excellent wheels got to be white not sure what id do car not keen on red black

SimonP · 22-05-2005, 11:40

Leave the Racelines as they are. Look best in that colour and lovely wheels. Mixed opinions on white wheels.

Surely it's time to spray those bumpers and get the archs put back on.

why?

SimonP · 22-05-2005, 11:52

Well, you've spent all that effort on spraying the car a multiude of colours and have base spec bumpers on it. I dunno, just might look neater with sprayed ones...or fitted arch trims.

I like the colour scheme on the shell too.

Adam Kindness · 22-05-2005, 11:56

... its not sprayed..... yet

plus it a severe weight saver LOL

Adam Kindness · 22-05-2005, 14:29

orig pic of car in current colour

some more PS's

philzee · 22-05-2005, 16:22

IMO alloys should stand out from the car.....don't really care what colour as long as the stand out. But....i don't like black alloys, i don't see the point of spending a packet on cool wheels to have them blend into the background,
as for the car...the three tone is a bit much....maybe just two-tone with the colours fading together?

Adam Kindness · 22-05-2005, 16:50

:lol:

some one do a better job than me please

lauri · 23-05-2005, 00:26

lauri · 23-05-2005, 00:41
