Tigz™ Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Ok guys, Ive got a few ideas, but it takes ages to photo shop anything.So it'll take me a while to do them all.Here is the first pic.As I dont have any high res pics of how the car is now, Ive used a pic I did a few months back, to see how the car could look on coils... how strange is it that the front is lower than I imagened, and the rear is no where near!Before anyone asks, my wheels need a refurb as theres curbing damage, I have got to do it myself, as im a tight ******* lol The colour I will be useing is Rover Charcoal gray..Anyway, heres my first... border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted November 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Did you buy the ones you told me about at E38 mate?Will they be your summer wheels?Have you still got your first set on? Which do you prefere Clifford, I was also thinking the oppisite way around to the first pic. Looked better in my mind.I think after looking at them both, that the plain charcoal gray one look alot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 i know a guy that had this done to his wheels and not trying to be cheaky bbout it but it looks crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted November 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 What do you meen by that?Do you meen that the photoshop looks crap, or that your mates looked crap?If its the photoshop, is it both the ideas you dont like or one of them?Its just Clifford refurbed some Bathursts and sprayed them dark and they looked fantastic.Another member did the same and it looked evil.Ok challange for ya, show me what you would do with them.

paulbin Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 probably means sprayed them up and looked crap, my brother done his girlfriends BBS alloys, and they came out looking really nice, just make sure u prep the surface of the wheel correctly before u do anything, and make sure its clean with no grease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted November 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Thanks Paul.I want to strtip them down to the bare mettle, and start from scrach.Gonna fit my 13" stellys, on some better tred for the winter, there black stellies when you take the wheel trims off.They've hardly been used.Wanna see how they look now the cars lowered.Gonna lower the profile of the tyre and try and deck it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbin Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 haha madness, striping it down to the bare metal wont be easy, y dont u just sand the areas that have been curbed, fill them, smooth them prime, then paint, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Lup Gti Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 spose it depends on what filler putty you use and the finish u get too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted November 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 No Paul, I want the finish to be spot on.Id like to polish them, but I want them to be my winter wheels so it wouldnt be practical.And anyway, whens someone gonna polish the Bathursts?

paulbin Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 u can get special filler, that must be ultra sticky, but smooth it off right and u can get a perfect finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one litre wonder ;) Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 tigz "What do you meen by that? Do you meen that the photoshop looks crap, or that your mates looked crap? " what i ment by it was that he had sprayed his wheels black and didnt have a clean break between the black and the silver and the fade was crap cause it wasnt even between the wheels ( or the spokes for that matter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted November 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 ya I can see how it could look bad.After looking at the pics toether I think all black is defenatly the way to go.Thanks for the imput guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
