White wheels look good against red, do the mirrors as well.  :smiley:

When I first bought this mk3 my plan was to do white wheels and wing mirrors but when I put them on the car I didn't like it. But my car is black and certain colours go with other colours better like black with red goes great lol.
Red car with white wheels and wing mirror would look good. Maybe even make the badges white aswell.

i'm not a fan of white mirrors, or badges for that matter.

i'm going for a cleaner look, so just white wheels for now.  :wink:

I run Rat look VR wheels on mine, took ages to get the paint to peel right and the right amount of kerb damage.
Totaly scene, some guy on ED38 has offered me £300 for them :cool:

I like it. White wheels on red cars look good.
Be better if you didn't have plastic arches and colour coded bumpers. With the badges white too think it would look really clean and fresh.

i'd love to remove the arches but i dont want to see the mess thats behind them  :lipsrsealed:

when funds allow they will be removed along with the skirts and a cut, roll and repaint ready for some different wheels.

i like the bumper tops black though, with the black side trims it breaks it all up.

i'm not sure if white badges would work though? do you just mean the VW ones? as the rest are coming off.
