I am not a big fan of dark wheels on dark cars, my Boxster has them and I’m not 100%

defo add a polish but different wheel colour to body would be my idea.

no I completely agree but you left yourself open for punishment so I just did what needed to be done

I do reckon gold over black though, I’m also not a fan of dark wheels, makes them look small, I had my S6 wheels powder coated chrome, but they didn’t turn out how I wanted them, I’d of probably of just gone brilliant silver if I’d of known.

That's better.... Its OK I can handle the banter.....I might even use that for my next sig pic... 😂
I prefer to keep my buckfast inside the car though..... Its hard to drink and drive when it's on the roof 😂

I think I'll go dark bronze with a polished rim..... Was thinking instead of black dechromed look around the windows maybe a bronze dechrome.....maybe that'll be to Midlandsy though..... 😂

🤣🤣 it’s ok it’s only meant in jest, I love doing shit photoshops 🤣🤣

I like the midlandsy chrome detail, I’ve not got as far as the Eastern European lads when they lay that chrome strip in all the panel gaps yet 😂😂

These are the chrome alloys, I wanted them to match the door blades, mirrors and trim but they came out dark, a bright silver would of been better 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

that was up past your neck of the woods funnily enough 👍

Not had them done yet.... I finished my royal Palace refurb job last week and am now working away up north on a new build £4million mansion.... I'll get them done when I get back....
I'll get the wheels done... Not sure if a dechrome for bronze around the windows and front grille will look tacky....
