Me too. It should’ve been offered as an option to the flaky diamond cut finish from the factory.

My local refurbisher has started doing satin gold with a diamond cut face, although we all disagree with the durability of diamond cut I think they would look very smart on a white 3 door GTI, I believe only the Santiago's could pull that look off though.

I'm planning to refurb my Austin wheels and am leaning towards powder coating. Has anyone got photos of a black Mk7 GTI with any sort of powder coated finish?

Thought this would help those that want painted alloys but don't want to sacrifice the common two tone look.

My refurbisher I go painted the diamond cut area silver then painted the rest, then added gloss clear coat to the grey and satin clear coat to the silver area.

Where is your local refurbisher and any idea on price?

They're based in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland. Can't comment on the price of that work, I'd assume it would cost more than normal due to more labour involved. They're usually a lot cheaper than you expect.

Those look brilliant! Think the Brescia would suit that sort of look

They definitely would I've started searching for a set now  The same place also regularly changes the gloss black back on diamond cut alloys to a dark metallic grey to help stop the look of gloss black scratches.
