Title: paint my monzas?
Post by: matsu on May 16, 2009, 11:49:24 am

some thoughts on my new wheel plans p[leeeze

i was going to get the inserts done ton the monzas but cos they aint II's they have a recess not a diamond edge. this means they will cost nigh on  a ton per rim.....AND not one place will guarantee 100% match up due to the masking process...
so.....
some black on black i like but am thinking gettig the monzas powder coated in an athracite/dk gun metal grey with poss red caps cos i seem to have this red on black theme going
and the cost is half what i was quoted for the above!
have new plans for the gti badges front and rear and even the engine cover after talking to a mate :drinking:

has anyone done this to monzas?
any pics or links?
any opinions yay or nay would be helpful
thanklsy muchly in advance

Robin's alloys look even better in the flesh. Pics simply do not do them justice :happy2:
