I think I'll be going for white. Not sure about centre caps yet, if I did have them off I'd want those polarised wheel bolts but that's just another expenditure. Thanks for your opinions :)
I know but once you get an idea in your head, sometimes you need someone to tell you it's a terrible idea or not. I'm just glad other people agree with the choice of white and that is what I will be going for :)
Haha I know but I was offered them to be fitted when I bought them off chip, and they have a great deal more tread than the alloys I had on which caused me to take someone's wing mirror off the other week when i lost grip.
Not certain of the brand, got them from a member off here. To be honest I'm not that bothered if they're the worst brand for coilovers, as long as they get the car as low as I want and don't make me crash then I'm happy
I posted the same question in my progress thread and you're the first person to like the white! That was my original intention, unfortunately the photoshop didn't turn out very well for white so I'm not sure how they'd look.
Yes it definitely needs loads of lowering, coilovers are going on this...
Hi, just got a set of Renault 19 16v alloys and put them on my non-sport. They're currently this horrible gold colour.
I know it's really high too, coilovers will be fitted this weekend.
Photoshop of a possible look...
Another colour option...
My original intention was to have these in...
Thanks for the advice, I'm still debating at the moment, just looking forward to getting the coilovers on this sunday (fingers crossed) at the moment :)
Started a new thread in the media section to ask people's opinions on colour.
Will do another update once coilovers are on :)
New alloys really aren't that expensive. You'll probably spend maybe £40 on paint+primer, £15 on sanding paper and hours of your life to refurb them. You could get a set of 172 alloys with tyres for £100. But if you're set on black wheels then go for it :) I started off doing almost exactly the...
Thanks, I had seen those and they're on my watch list ;) I was hoping to get another used set for a bit cheaper though tbh, we'll see what funds become available from Christmas.
After getting coilovers fitted I might leave it until January and see what I can afford to throw around when the next...
Hi mate :) you've got a good base to go from there. definitely lower it, black badges all around sound cool. I wouldn't suggest spraying the wheels black though. i did mine myself when I first got my dynamique and it looked rubbish. Unless you're going to get it done properly, but in that case...
I did see that but I'm in Bristol until the 14th at uni. Not really, just fancied going to a meet really and thought a good time would be during my Christmas holiday
