black, anthracite or silver?

[seb]

Ok, i personally want gloss black like on this picture as these are the standard wheels re-done:

but my 197 is nimbus not red... the only pics i can find of the three options are :

1. standard, silver:

2. anthracite:

3. gloss black (these are speedlines but you get the idea):

i'm liking the gloss black, i just think the anthracite on a standard 197 doesn't look as cool as say the F1... hmmm thoughts? or other suggestions?

 

[Peperami]

A bit darker than anthracite (almost a graphite grey) and paint the calipers red.

anthra

yea what I was thinking... ask Christopher what colour he painted his turini's on his old ph1 172

 

[seb]

hmmm... i thought of something a bit more original than red for calipers... i imagine it will take sometime to decide on what to do...

plus i kinda like a gloss at present... a graphite grey gloss?

 

[PuntoboyGT]

White. FTW.

 

[seb]

hmmm i don't think white on nimbus would look too good? looks cool on RB, black and the other solid colours though.

colours for calipers? kawasaki green? orange? or boring red? thoughts?

 

[Mr Burns]

[MillerLight]

[VeinAST]

agree

 

[seb]

i've had some PS stuff done, but i thought i'd try and find three pics to show them in real life as per this thread really...

i could understand them looking a bit poverty if they where matt black, but gloss should look smart and shiny imo.

 

[paul]

not another thread!

 

[seb]

shut it you you are hardly one to criticise i am being needy today.

do you want to come and paint my arches for me?

 

[Fletcher]

Anthracite.

 

[seb]

how come everyone is so keen on anthracite? reasons please!

plus what about the calipers? what colour? pink, brown, yellow, indigo, red, green etc?

try and talk me out of gloss black.

 

[clioandy105]

go for a ford graphite grey, its darker than anthracite, but yet isnt black, would suit that car to the ground and as said red calipers.

 

[Tigger]

What colour is your car again?

- Pink calipers! :rasp:

 

[seb]

nimbus

candy pink btw?

 

[Tigger]

Anthracite wheels & silver or pink calipers!

 

[seb]

imagine if i actually did pink calipers .... lol

 

[Tigger]

Try it :rasp:

 

[ryan17hurley]

i like the black

my alloys are ford graphite grey
i think they work well as not to dark or light

 

[seb]

got a pic ryan?

a mate suggested gloss black with a silver lip...

 

[BioHzrd]

Gloss black with the indents on each spoke done silver...ill find a pic of what i mean...

 

[Iridium]

I'd go for really dark anthracite, but gloss black on that red one does look good... I have normal F1 anthracite and I love it But one thing for sure... REALLY NOT white! White would just look wrong!

 

[Chili Red]

I went with the masses as it turned out and voted anthracite. They just look the best. The silver doesn't match, and with the black you lose the detail of the wheels.

OK anthacite doesn't match as such, but it goes with nimbus far better and you can see the spokes and calipers clearly, unlike with black.

Gloss black is hideous...
Antrecite is ok
Silver is subtle, smart and :approve:

Thats 'the' colour for the 197 imo! Love it...Took a while but in the flesh it's tiped it...With silver wheels it's neat and tidy!

Im big admirer of anthracite, just had my turiniiiiiis done in em', but silver looks smart.

 

[Peperami]

Yellow, red or silver for calipers. Get hold of some brembo decals for the top r27 stylee.

 

[stevo172-RWD]

silver atm.
but i think anthracite looks better

 

[seb]

ugh.... i just can't make my decision.

 

[Tigger]

Get a photoshop done on your car

[caymanr26]

megane r26 wheels in gloss black (1 inch bigger as well) or even normal R26 wheels - they need to be bigger though either way imo
