mk3 gti 16v with added pink bits
« Reply #32 on: 02 February 2011, 13:45 »
right finally finished my wheel got some tyres and got them fitted, really pleased with them. werent to sure part way through painting them, no they're on though  :grin:. also painted my mirror covers and rear badge to match. stuck a bit of pink vinyl on the front gti badge. it's a bit off colour to the rest of the pink though so going to try get that sorted before the end of the week.
dunno if you can notice in the pics centre caps are missing, a friend of a friend is making some up for me and should have them back soon, also my red calipers need painting black as they dont match even a lil bit.
front splitter was put on after pics taken will update again hopefully friday with centre caps and splitter

Unique, i like! :cool:

Although there is something that really doesn't look right. I think it might be the mirrors.. :undecided:

If it was me, the centre of the wheels would be silver, the grille would all be one colour,the mirrors would be silver and the badges would stay the same.

Good work though! :afro:

Fantastic job on the wheels, what kind of paint did you use for the pink?..... They look great. :cool:

I think the mirrors draw your eyes away from the wheels so IMO are too much but other than that, looks great.

Wheels - yes (although would probably look better lower and / or without the GTI arch trims)
Other pink parts - No (Makes it look tacky imo)
