Wheel colour change

Post by v8_killy » Thu Aug 05, 2021 11:16 am

I bit the bullet this week and booked in for a wheel colour change...

From gloss black

To satin Titan grey

I think it's a vast improvement!

Yeah, I agree. Black is too black on these cars, where wheels are concerned.

Just needs spacers now.

Looks a lot better now.
You may struggle with spacers on the front looking at the ride height.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

Yep - spacers are not for me for reasons of clearance but also because it’s wide enough already and I already struggle to clear the curb on the tight exit from my local petrol station.

Looks so much better, not a black wheel fan

Is it on coilovers? Looks like the arse needs to go down just a tad to get the car level, looks lovely in red
