lol, im not feeling it either, just dont know with what to try next, i want to be exotic! haha.

lucky for me, i only done 1 side ;)

so give me some ideas.

the usual
silver
black
satin black (what i had)
grey/anthracite

must be something out there that works well, i had the black wheels done, and now at least 5 golfs around my area also have satin black wheels.....and 1 with some funny looking chequer flags down the side.....

BUT a very senior engineer from Land Rover once said (in reference to a problem I was having with the dynamic response system on a brand new Range Rover Sport that left it stranded in the Isle of Man @ 679 miles.....) that if I want to buy a car that was fitted with leading edge technology that I should expect it to have a certain amount of bleeding edge to go with it.

I pass this wisdom onto you, keep trying new colours but one wheel at a time  :wink:

yeah, im thinking grey/anthracite now. its the only colour apart from black and silver that works well.

and TSR are a bunch of c*%$s to be fair, there only interested in you if your pockets are longer than a 60s porn stars thingy! i went into ask them about where the engine number is usually stamped and he reply "dunno goggle it" even tho he had about 4 engines on the work bench behind him. tospot!

Gavv8, give us a toot next time you go past. il try to acknowledge you.

isnt that the 80/90s interior colour and texture stuff? looks like stone chip paint.

imagine trying to clean the brake dust off that!!
