So its finally done , the vinyl is on GOD DAMN it makes the whole car look so SICK!
Only thing left is the wing mirrors and the  rear bumper, which I first need to fix that damage I had.

I love it more now just red paint in centre of the wheels and its perfect <(


enjoy

So guys could use some help here

I cant decide which to chose form, red wheels and details, bronze wheels and details and or complete red wheels with red details, which is best ?

Wheels red with details, keeping the chrome edge on wheel



All wheel red


Red outline with black wheel

Or Bronze
 

These are just some quick renders.

I like the first and third.....the polished alloy rims set it off.  :goodjob:

If it was my car though, I'd go the gold.....It's a winner!
Oh, lose the red wheel nuts though....  :whistler:

I like the red but I think I have to agree with Rusty.
The gold gets it from me.  :)

Option 1 Glac, if you scrape a kerb, it won't be as noticeable.

Thanks guys , yes it will be option 1, that reason that it is already curbed and its not as noticble now, also the problem I have is that the wheel look "smaller" with that edge " but it also make its " cleaner" so I will make the wheel centre red and rest edge stock )

thanks fellas

Hopefully this week the rear bumper will be done , I will do some fixes on it today to make it ready.

Nope it will be ALL Red, that reason alone i cant be really bothered to "mask" out the edge I do not think it will be pretty, so all red it is =)  just to make the wheel look bigger as well =)

Thanks for all feedbacks much appreciated =D

yeah i know you all like the bronze, problem is I have to re paint the wheels 2 times
first i have to paint it black, then I have to repspray it with the bronze in hancer, problem is I dont even know if its a nice bronze either as it has never been done before on these type of wheels. IT is plastidip which I can peel off as well if I dont like it , but i will try red first to see if its "to much "i can just peel it of and go all black or bronze =)

I will post pictures once i have done either choice I made the emblem H at the front same color as the car now its much better looks subtle now, also I want to do somethin with the headlights but its so much I have to be carefull with so I might not do it I will see if I get time =)

Thanks again and sorry if I am not doing the right thing :P

So this weekend I had some stuff done, pained the brake calipers red, made a BIG difference and it looks great,

also got the wheels painted black with plastidip,. they look MAD! now and I like the all black look also make them look bigger, here is a piture of them after I got em painted what you recon, might add some " metalizer" for  metallic effect or migth just leave them..

so after some time new wheels are on, really made the brake calipers POP, now I am thinking, should I respray the headlights black and then make the wheels bronze ,or keep it the way it is, and then get some tints and lower it  ...










ENJOY =)

Well Glac, you've really put a lot of work into your car. So much red has been removed, you could actually pick any colour you like for the light surrounds, as long as it compliments the calipers they certainly stand out, in red. Not sure about the red nuts though.  ;)
