New shoes!!!
T88OMM:
The CK's really suit the MKV chassis and the CH's are a timeless classic that look good on almost anything, whatever you pick they will look great :drool: :drool:
The wheel man:
It would be nice to see if A1 could replicate a wheel finish that we did a few years ago. We knew the inherent problems with laquered wheels so tried to give the same look with a fully powercoated wheel. Now i would post a pic up but the internet at work is sooooooooo slow it would take ages. basically think of a 10 spoke wheel that has 5 spokes raised above the other 5 (like 2 five spoke wheels on top of each other) 5 wheels would be painted gloss black and the other 5 were painted Hyperblack. the difference in colour made the Hyperblack look very shiney silver. Have a look at it, www.katoracing.com/miura to see exactly what we were tyring to do.
Now think of this principle on the Monza II, take RR's wheels and paint the usual Gunmetal colour Gloss black like the MK6 wheel. Best of both worlds??? Anyone want to do a cross between ther MK6 GTI wheel and RR's on photoshop??
Probably a marmite finish but who knows......

....If I've understood you correctly, you can't successfully do what you are suggesting - The problem is getting a professional looking join between the colours of 'insert' to 'face' (re Monza's). It's something I discussed at length with Nigel at A1.
