Title: Advice please
Post by: 67buggers on 24 July 2012, 16:13
Right im taking my borbeta's in to have the rim polished and the centers refurbed next week but cant decide id i should keep them silver or go for another colour... Seen some anthracite ones before which looked good but cant decide. Once there done i need to get flat caps for them. Suggestions please!

Black and red looks dope!
Get the anniversary red belts and lupo red stitch steering wheel and it will finish it off nicely

imho polished lips and black centres took sh1te! Too many people have done it. As your car is dark go for the gun metal grey & pull it of with diffrent colour centres. Trust you wont regret it!

I'm a fan of the "kerbed and dirty" look, then I would say that :grin:
I would say deep silver with a lush gloss lacquer or go for a lighter/brighter colour with polished lips.
Black wheels need to be kept clean, as mat black is a bit naff imo

Woryingly i really like the pink.... Not sure im that brave though! Red could work.... Im kinda going down a red and black theme

Jeez I even like those pink centres but I'd never have the balls to run them. A real deep red with polished rim against the black body will look cool though.

Title: Re: Advice please
Post by: MK3 Menace on 26 July 2012, 12:53
Gone for Brazil mate, quite a bright yellow, did them once before with Halfords stuff but they need refreshing.

I should still do doing it but having a few problems getting cooling system bled and fan to stay cool so thats a priority.
