Xiegen Interceptor Kit.
I was looking at it, but it needs a more in your face car to pull it off. Mine is too stealthy and it would look out of place... NeoDesign kit for me i thinks...


...now if i had a purple leon with a carbon bonnet, it might just work

cheers guys, the tyres were take off yesterday and the rims are now at the powdercoaters, he s just doing up some sample colour shades too see which works best, they should be done for sat then get the tyres fitted,

does anyone reccomend alloy valves or just stick with rubber?

Load rating 85 on the tyres?? Thought the leon needed 92??

been to collect the wheels today, i didnt really know of a shade or what i wanted really just left it in their hands, and well im very pleased with the results they are dark anthracite with a silver sprayed over them so when sunlight hits them they change colour

they look nice mate what colour do they call that?

 

[BHP Addict]

[RickC]

they look nice mate what colour do they call that?

i dont really know, its a fe shades lighter than blackwith a silver lightly sprayed over it , when upright and the sun is on it it sparkles lol,

when i took them to be done he doesnt have colours as such its just how they turn out then the amount of laquer depends on the light and darness of the rims.
its powdercoated not painted aswel


sorry i cant really help

I am gonna have to say it, although i know it is all relative, i think the wheels have lost character. The Tuner 2's are full on Aggro, and without commiting 100% to this statement through not having seen these in the flesh, i think they have lost something. The old style (as in Siggy) just has a little more life to it...

Just my initial opinion bases on the photos. I look forward to seeing them in real life to have my scepticism squashed. They are an ace set of rims on an ace car, top job Rick...

i know what you mean but they were bubbling only the rears though, and you only get 6 months warranty. also im going more darker meaner with the car so its the first stage of my plan lol.

Ouch. Not good for a set of luxury rims like that. I am liking the whole dark and mean look. Mine is dark, but not so mean at the moment. Hope the Bodykit materialises as its an awesome kit. It was the one i wanted but my car would never be able to pull it off... needs muchos aggro!!!

 

[RickC]

wheels are now on , phone pics atm as i cant find my camera

 

[ALEX**]

rims look nice but imo the car is too low

 

[BHP Addict]

the back looks absolutly slammed :wow:

I do agree with the wheels, they are nice but lost a lil edge frm standard.
Had to be done tho.

Looking good Rick, well done mate

 

[RickC]

too low cars are never too low pics dont really do them justice the quality is a bit crap to bring out the silver in them

cheers for the comments anyway
