Evening guys, I hope you all had a good weekend. :happy2:
I recently gave one of my alloys a good old scraping down a kerb ( possibly my subconcious doing it on purpose! ), but i saw this as an opportunity to change the colour.
What have people decided on in the past? Does anyone have any pictures of red Ed.30's with anthracite or black pescys for example?
Also, if anyone is a dab hand at photoshop, please feel more than welcome to give the photo below a quick edit :wink: :happy2:

Merry Weekend!

Shadow chrome John? Do you have any examples? :party:

Have a look at the red rides thread. Black gloss is the colour to go for if not anthracite.

divided opinion
black gloss does look good, but isnt 'different' enough imho
but its your car, so your choice :pomppomp:
-
I would say gloss black. Personally I think gloss black suits a red mk5 better than any other colour but it's very hard to show that in a picture. Also, I do agree it's not that 'different' anymore but different isn't always better :happy2:
-
Black on Red is awesome IMHO.
Looks so mean and sleak.
I nearly went for this but opted for Detroits instead.
-
Black pescara's, I did something abit different to my old pescara's, colour wise, will dig a pic out for you......
-
Keano.. Always posting pics after a car wash.. :signLOL:
I done the same mate,both my front wheels are damaged and looking for a refurb.I'm favouring anthracite personally.
Anyway,have you got anybody local in mind?.Members on here highly rate A1,in the midlands I think.
-
...if your brave..... white :smiley:

I've heard good things about the wheel doctor in Scun.thorpe, and the father recently had some A5 wheels done at 'TheWheelSpecialist' in Leeds, done a fantasticcccc job!
We'll have to see :drinking:

Only problem with white alloys, is they will look pap in 100 yards use..
-
if youve got a good cleaning regime and the right protective products are used on the rims it wont be that bad :wink:
looks phat, everyone goes black or anthracite, not that thats a bad thing but white proper works on red cars :innocent:

How come you have blue windows? Thought they stopped that before the ED came out?
-
^^^ That car right there has swayed the decision! Did you say there were blue steve? :confused:
:happy2:
-
Long standing forum joke keano, before you joined this forum, I had my pescara's done the same colour, but were quickly nicknamed blue by some :grin:
Boron is it's colour name on internationals paint chart.
It does change colour in different lighting .

White or 'blue' both look ace, although the white ones would be a bitch to keep clean, but look good when they are clean,
Also not very many cars seen on a day to day basis with white wheels.
:happy2:
