    mmm not too sure on red, if you want red wht about trying a thin (3mm) red band on the chrome lip?

    i think it would look good either white with polishes dish (too chavvy??)
    or light grey with the polished lip?

    what do you think?

    Personally, I prefer the top one. It's more subtle and also goes with the badge on the front for subtlety.

    Thats the thing.. im not sure i want subtle lol but i dont want it too in your face either.

    Wheels make or break the car IMO and i sorta want something to set my car off a bit. Make people look twice, but not a third time and laugh basically lol

    Im deff having a silver dish! IF i ever curb them and they were any other colour then silver, the marks would stand out like a sore thumb. And stone chips happen, so im sticking to silver dish with a coloured center.

    cheers, Luke

    im pleased you at least tried the gray like I suggested!!!! I think the top pic looks the best, but is perhaps a little understated.

    I reckon the red, and then paint all the door and bumper trim red too, red badges also. Maybe get a red bee sting aerial and door handles.

    Honestly I saw some nigerian guy in a civic with the same colour scheme and it looked the foooking nuts and definately stood out

    Sounds a bit too hectic for me, but red VW badge sounds like a decent option :thumbup: or maybe the inserts of the badge [:[]

    Ta, Luke

    Just do the round bit on the grill - keep the rest black!

    Those red wheels have grown on me.

    I thought that when I saw it I think old monkey arms is just leaning right out - due to him being the passenger not the driver.

    It does look odd when you first look at it though!
