Post by: goranot on October 31, 2011, 10:58:02 pm: have black from and rear badges hence preferred the black CH as it contrasted nicely with the silver..want to go with the anthracite but not so sure how it will contrast with the silver and black badges

Post by: sub39h on October 31, 2011, 11:21:04 pm: i'd go a shade lighter than that personally, and it doesn't look OEM audi to me but that could just be because of the lighting in the photo

whatever you do i'm sure it'll look great :happy2:

Post by: goranot on October 31, 2011, 11:24:18 pm: really want to go for the anthracite think change will look good...suppose will give black a break although it looks more oem on CH's..just cautious how it will contrast with the silver car and black badges and trims etc

Post by: monte on October 31, 2011, 11:55:47 pm: Anthracite for me too :happy2:

I got my pescaras done Satin Black and tbh if I wish I'd have gone a bit lighter.

My Ed30 is Silver too.

Great colour, how much were they?

Thanks guys for your advise if it had been upto me I would have stuck with the black..picture doesnt really do them justice but am well impressed with them..original ones had the silver protector strips and also some kerb damage which they had to repair hence they charged £160-00 for all 4 alloys apparently was told the anthracite was about £10 /alloy extra due to it being more expensive paint otherwise for normal gloss black or silver it would have Ben £30/ alloy

Also they have painted the spigot rings as well..will that make any difference?

Once again thanks for ur advise as without I wouldnt have chosen the anthracite

Post by: goranot on November 04, 2011, 10:23:22 am: Quick one as need to confirm ASAP am I ok in ordering black wheel nuts.. What colour wheel nuts do u guys have with your anthracite alloys?

Unfortunately they don,t have black locking nuts so if someone has a spare set in black they want to sell please pm me

Thanks

Post by: vRS_Pagey on November 04, 2011, 06:44:21 pm: I still struggle to believe the price you guys are paying for refurbs?? The cheapest quote I've had for 4 wheels is over £300, that is within the Kent area!
Title: Re: BBS CH powdercoating colour
Post by: monte on November 06, 2011, 12:07:51 am: I had my pescaras powder coated satin black in Nottingham for £160 too.
They did a great job. I can highly recommend them. (Nottingham wheel works??? or something like that)

However A1 will be doing my monza's. They are the monza kings! :star:
