Title: Opinions needed; Monza refurb
Post by: Lyons on January 18, 2010, 05:50:47 pm: Folks, im thinking of getting my Monza's painted to keep me going until i get Monza II's in the summer, as im bored of the silver.

Ive always been a fan of dark wheels, but wondered what you lot make of this?

The other option is black, but sadly the photoshop another lad did for me didnt come out to well.

Does anyone even have any photos of a black GTi with the 17" Monza's painted?

Post by: Lyons on January 18, 2010, 07:18:43 pm: I dont think they're any particular colour, i just requested a gunmetal/anthracite photoshop.

What about black?

Post by: black-a4 on January 18, 2010, 07:21:58 pm: Quite like that gunmetal colour. I think all black would look a little lost in comparison.

Lyons are you the same Lyons off RMS?

Post by: black-a4 on January 18, 2010, 10:51:42 pm: Sorry Lyons, a regular reader rather than poster! Been to a few RMS meets and shows.

Hoping to make the move to a mk5 in June time.

Post by: Edition30 on January 19, 2010, 06:19:54 pm: Looks good but personally I wouldn't bother if your getting some new rims...waste of money.
Title: Re: Opinions needed; Monza refurb
Post by: Lyons on January 19, 2010, 08:26:14 pm: Ill not be getting the new ones until September though, and the refurb will be DIY!

gobbleplease, are they 17's? What colour is your car?

Post by: Lyons on January 20, 2010, 10:44:52 am: They're Monza II's but, I'd need to see the 17's in black.

Post by: VeeDubDan on January 20, 2010, 12:26:40 pm: It isn't a massive stretch of the imagination to picture a 17" Monza in black based on the picture! :grin:
Title: Re: Opinions needed; Monza refurb
Post by: Lyons on January 20, 2010, 12:30:51 pm: I know, of course i can picture them! But it always helps to see a photo of an actual example, ideally on a car.
