BBS VR6 Alloys - Colours?
« on: 16 December 2007, 19:57 »
Heya again!

So, the MK3 project of getting her looking decent continues and the wheels need serious refurbishment!
This isn't a touch-up job, the person who had the car before looks like they've used the old favourite  touch-kerb-parking manoeuvre!

I've found thewheelspecialsts.co.uk who look like they know what they are doing, and with the December discount, are very very competitive!

However, my dilemma is this; do I have the wheels re-done in their original silver, or go for a charcoal/anthracite finish?



This is my car, with the wheels as they are now.

So, do I go for:



or:



oooh, just seen this option:




All opinion's greatfully received, serious or otherwise  :grin:

The offer (35% off!) is only for December it seems, so hopefully this month!

Decisions, decisions!!!

if you really have to keep those wheels (and not get something bigger!!)  id either just get them redone to look standard but brand new obviously, or a light gray colour so they still look OE but with a twist

but really, its you who needs to decide, its your ride :cool:
