True, although that's what they are I get what you mean. I'm so tempted, for practical reasons more than anything.

Yeah i see where you're coming from.

Tbh, its your own opinion, though personally, i would keep the white, i know its a total arse to clean.

But then in black, you might find they fade / look tatty or even rust faster because they're not being kept so clean...

I think they look pretty smart on the car as they are and IMHO the car would look more... 'tatty' with black steelies...

It'd look like every other similar age 106 i see around here, though it isn't one of those...

If not white, then perhaps anthracite, as said, black would just look like normal steelies.

Or what about a lairy colour, green or something

Yeah, what to do what to do. I doubt they will rust anyway as they are brand new, although I'd be sanding the top coat down I may treat them first to stop that.

Not too sure on the antracite although I've not really considered it, lairy would be a yes if the car wasnt red. Briht green would only look good on silver/white/black imo.

See, Chrisboom agrees too lol...

Yeah could go a lairy colour, Do the Wheels and Mirrors bright green or something, would go well with the colour of the car!

EDIT: Not necessarily bright green, as you said, but a lairy colour would go well..

Go WILD! lol

Anthracite would look good, maybe a slightly lighter metallic grey but darker than silver, almost like alloys colour but a little darker...

JJ is going to do a PS in anthracite for me to have a gander at

Also, if I spray them black I'll spray the rallye inserts and maybe mirror covers black too.

Its easy, get some rim tape off ebay, do one wheel to see if you like it, then use the rim tape as masking tape, easy to get a smooth line then

I'm swaying more towards black than anything else at the minute, with black rallye inserts it would look rather nice I think. I could add a red lip at any point, although there is not much of an outer lip on these compared to your 205 wheels or similar.

JJ did another PS, I prefer black without a doubt, although I could go darker on the anthracite, black is still number 1 choice

Sorted out the passanger side door today, the vinyl was creased where someone had replaced it and it was really annoying me. Here's a few pics.

Wrinkly


Removed and paint cleaned


Masked up


During


Finished


Only a small thing but it looks much better now, didn't need to do the drivers side as it doesn't have a mark on it. I'll be removing and spraying the wiper arms tomorow as they have seen better days.
