What Colour ?

[TEB]

Hey Everyone,

This is a pic of my car :



Because of insurance, i cant have alloy wheels or lower it etc, but to make it stand out, i am painting the plain steel wheels!

But i dont know what colour to go for, White Or Gloss Black? I know white will be hard to keep clean but i can manage that!

Any ideas? Thanks!

Get 15 / 16 inch steel wheels and paint them white.

or paint them black an do the plastic parts of bumper and arches gloss black.

I cant get bigger wheels, iv got to leave the car standard and i cba painting the bumpers lol! i do keep them black when its been cleaned tho

[danthemann]

you can legally put 15'' steelies on aslong as they are from a vauxhall . and id say go black

ted... here are a few things that would/could improve your car....

(sugestions)

de badged front grill ( 20 quid max)

aero flat blade wipers for the front (about a tenner)

grommet for back wiper and get rid of wiper arm and motor.

take the badges off door and boot

you could spray your boot lock arden blue? using rattle cans from halfords

smoked side indicators/ repeaters

interior:

chrome gaiter surround and remove that horrible plastic surround

white dial kit and chrome surrounds

blue leater gaitor and handbrake cover



simple things like this

you could ask your insurence about a gsi/sport spoiler because it only looks nice dosent effect performence etc. quindirect dont care bout asthetics aslong as u declair
