Clubsport
« on: 17 July 2021, 08:45 »
So finally decided to make the plunge and swap my  7.5gti pp for a mk 8 Clubsport , picking it up on Tue/weds  next week. I’ve got some gloss black Pretoria’s from my my 7.5. What’s everyone’s opinion on colour for a dolphin grey car..? I’m thinking perhaps change to shadow chrome or maybe even satin

Thanks. I really fancy shadow chrome as well think it should look good on a dolphin grey clubby  :smiley:

The black is fine as is, but shadow chrome would also work👍

Any options other than paint? Keep the gloss black I think.

Gloss Black will look awesome against the dark grey dolphin and make the red accents pop even more. You know it’s mandatory to post photos after a question like that once the wheels are on  :grin:

Yeah, good old gloss black will indeed work well especially if the wheels aren’t covered in light scratches like black wheels are prone to suffering.
Kind of depends on whether they could do with a refurb or not really. If yes then maybe try another finish such as shadow, if not then keep them as they are.
