Silver! Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 (edited) Has someone not just had their Bathursts refurbed dark grey on a silver GTi?...have a search and you'll get the impression.Just done a search: NBR had his sprayed anthracite. He seems to have taken the photo's down from the thread, but PM him and see if he'll post some more.S! Edited May 2, 2006 by Silver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penry Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Well i'm a cheapo so I use MS photodraw. Firstly I would adjust the brightness of the pic, then what I would do is highlight the actual wheel area and then do a bit of experimenting as to what colour I wanted. Adjust the transparency on that so you can actually see the contours of the wheel, then erase the parts which cover the badge (and wheelnuts if you had any showing) and hey presto, you have a different colour wheel!Lowering; the way I do it is probably totally different to photoshop, people must have some tips on how to do it easy peasy style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I'll have a go for you if you have any good side on pics...

penry Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 They actually make bumpers like that, personally not for me but I do see a fair few Clios with that style and they don't look that bad if you like that sort of thing.Good effort though style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
