paulbin Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I could of really punched, kicked and hit my self with a iron today wen i scrapped the passengers side front alloy wheel on a curb.I matched the colour up to the reflex silver thats on my car but its not the right colour, the alloy seems more metalic.I know theres been a topic on here about the colour of the alloys but i have a funny feeling people said they were reflex, but i dont think thats the case.Has anyone had anymore thoughts about this.I dont want to paint the wheel and have it a different colour to the rest of the wheels, so alternatively i would 'have' to paint all the wheels, so may aswell change the colour of all of them, but this would mean needing a set of replacement wheels for when they are getting sprayed.Wot are peoples thoughts about the original colour or total change? just remember i will need a set of wheels for the time being!

Tigz™ Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I think the wheels are Moon Silver Paul, although Tim could conferm that (not got time to search for the post)Personally though Paul I think its time for a colour change style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />How about a light gray?Something subtle, and not too dark.

tdwindustries Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Yeah I think its moon too, but again my car is about 7 shades of silver so no idea. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />I would go with andi - light grey might be nice - oh and dont forget you aint got bathursts! They are prob not body coloured? dunno though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbin Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 they definatly aint the colour of my car, i will check up on the moon silver, but if failing that i might have to change the colour.Any ideas for colour?Any 1 got a set of wheels spare?

stevewp Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 (edited) Sorry for the late reply Paul....was on my dinner break.Sounds like you're sorted on the wheels front, but if you fancy a trip over to sunny Worcestershire (or could always meet up the M40 on my commute) you're always welcome matey.And cheers Andi for answering for me in my absense!!

stevewp Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Oh, and I also meant to say the photoshop looks good. Would definately go for that colour. Doesn't stand out like a sore thumb, but subtly effective.And yes, I'm a post whore!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers:" border="0" alt="cheers.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
