Pimped my ride

Englishbloke · 11-15-2013, 02:08 PM

Well, just had my black winter wheels fitted by the local dealer (with Pirelli Sottozero's).

I have to say, they look amazing, transforms the car. I almost walked straight past it! They look really good on the M Sport with the privacy glass and black trim.

Won't be everyone's cup of tea, maybe a bit too boy racer, but for 5 months/yr I can live with it

Photos soon!

Sorry, it's dark! Just keen to tell you all how great my car looks

Yeah come on it's sunny right now! Take some pics please.

I've got my 415s stacked in the garage. Car arrives in 2 weeks. Contis ordered and arrive in 2 weeks.

So I have two more weeks to flip between

a) keep them as is or
b) get them sprayed/powder coated (local firm quoted £50+vat each for powder)

And when i'm in b) mode I'm between

i) Gloss black
ii) Satin Black
iii) Graphite

My Facebook based opinion poll was

1st place - Keep as is
2nd place - Gloss black
3rd place - Other (which included amongst others dayglo yellow and woodgrain effect!!!)
