Already got a front facelift bumper suppose the pic in my sig is a bit distant can't tell. It's okay I decided again black and silver in the end.
Just not sure whether to go black gloss matt black or anthracite no one on here has vRS alloys on a black car until the two of us do it!


Anthrancite would be nice :) Yeah ur car looks far away cant really see have an update when u get ur shoes on!
Dont no if the silver will be great silver lip? or?? Wont be too stealthy :p
All the corsa chavs got silver + black thats why im a bit biast i think :)
But ea too there own!

The chavs are what put me off saw an old rusty 206 with wheels like it and it really put me off! Someone on here with a Leon did but it worked quite well for him IMO.
Don't think a silver lip works on vRS wheels either, I think you have helped me decide on anthrancite then! Will definetly post some pics up when they are done got a couple of weeks to wait though.
Thanks Alex you have helped me decide tonight been deciding for months!

When i was doing mine i had the dilema of wanting black, and anthricite and still wanting some silver. Made some powdercoating up and with a few measurment changes got what i wanted. It depends which angle the light is at to what colour the alloys are;)

I see your in North Yorkshire. Will you be taking them to the powdercoaters to get them done? If so, ask them how much powder they will need to do all 4. I still have some here but not sure there is enough to do them all;)

I got most of the mods done at the same time, so i changed insurance companies aswell, as my previous insurer "dont do mods". All the mods where on on the initial quote, so i dont know how much more each of the mods would be.

Eh,Well alot of my freinds havent told them about some stuff they have done but i think i will,I was at the seat garage and the guy there told me he crashed his leon and he had changed his alloys 2 another style (Like i am) and he dident tell them, then he got boned off his 20k car cos they refused 2 pay out becouse they dident no! So im just hopeing it wont be too crazy and if all goes 2 plan ill be able 2 get that cat back on too :D Then my car will be like unlowerd yours haha

where did you get your insurance from to get it that cheap with mods declared????

I have just been told that my VRs alloys that i wanted to buy have now been sold.... :cry::cry:

So now it is a choice of finding somewhere else to get them from, or decide on a colour to turn the Standard FR wheels.

Sorry the wheels were sold mate that really sucks!! Thanks red rum think I will get something similar to yours done, I am going to a local place that just sepcialise in wheel refurbs and powdercoating, so what paint have you used then?
Yes I have had these wheels since about April but have had to save for new tyres as I don't like the tyres on them and have had to pay for other boring things too so been delayed!

aimez, where you getting yours done, because the chances are if we both get a set of wheels done at the same time we might get it cheaper??? Plus you are local to me..... I really like the colour of red rums.... *hint for colour* :)

I work at a powdercoating factory, so i made up the paint myself. Its not availible to buy anywhere, but one that looks similar is a colour called black-silver, which the powdercoaters that are doing your alloys may be able to get hold of;)

The car is wound down on Fk coilovers mate, going lower at the weekend but it'll be coming back up after lol and the insurance company im with is Bell;)
