I was thinking about painting my ones gold in the middle and buying some gold plated bolts would that look good or not? but to the question going around i reckon black looks good but i like the bling factor :grin:

decided to go silver. i want the car to be just a repsectable original looking car with subtle mod's. black is too "look at me" attention seeking

i had gold (with polished lip) BBS on my old 16v, and it suited them well, dunno on a red car though
