chippychip123 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi all Im thinking of changing a few bits on the car over the winter ready for next year and one of them being the wheel colour. They will need a refurb after another winter as the polished lips are starting to tarnish and my question is; -refurb as they are with the polished lip -refurb in anthracite all over -refurb dark bronze all over (and in no way to look remotely like gold ) -refurb in midnight purple all over So if there are any photoshop gurus out there that want to lend there skills I would be most greatful. Oh and all opinions are welcome but it doest mean that i will listen to them Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Refurb done complete with Purple wheels Anthracite for me, you can only have the polished lip done so many times Tom, that's why I did away with mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippychip123 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Refurb done complete with Purple wheels You know i actually quite like that green but ive heard you have to be either super cool or mentaly unstable to run a bright green Z which I 'm neither . Theres a guy down south somewhere that runs one but I've not yet seen it in the flesh. He definatly falls into the super cool category though Thanks for the help though guys Edited November 3, 2012 by chippychip123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Anthracite with polished lip imo would work really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chippychip123 Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Know what, they look best in silver ! SORRY but they do +1 You know what, I do really like them in silver but thought I'd maybe try something different, but I'm still not 100% on any of the colour changes so who knows they'll probably end up going back in silver but its whether I keep the lips polished or just go silver all over?

Bobbyheinz Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I think anthracite could look good. Is that a real chargespeed rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippychip123 Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 I think anthracite could look good. Is that a real chargespeed rear? Yes!........... Urm no it the RT replica I'm afraid. I couldn't justify the price of a real one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbyheinz Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Looks good to me mate. How did the fitting go with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippychip123 Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 In all honesty mate it wasn't a straight bolt on fit, the overalls were all pretty good but a few bits needed a little bit of fibreglass adding and around the indicator recess needed a little bit of work but as I was able to do this work myself It wasn't an issue really. In my eyes if your buying replica stuff don't expect it to be a bolt on fit but at a third of the price of the original i didn't mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
