Clean arctic/graphite ultra's

[Mr Plums]

Heres a few pics of my 182 after a thorough clean and seal, im liking the new colour of the wheels, although im not too keen on the yellow o.z decals ive added today, im not sure if they look cheap/tacky?? They are easily removed anyway so its no big deal.

Im in two minds whether to remove them and replace them with some silver/grey ones, the same colour as the writing on the centre caps??

My graphite nut covers should also be here soon too to get rid of the silver, im also going to order spacers all round before christmas.

The pics are off my phone so they are poor...

Thanks for looking.

I love that! The wheels look brilliant!

Thanks mate

I like the yellow decals on the wheels when the wheels are off the car, but they clash a bit on the car with the blue paintwork i think, i dont know what to do, change them to silver/grey or leave them, im 50/50.

I know its not a big thing, but it adds to the over all look and im picky lol.

Much better now they're painted! I would say silver would look better. You could also tie them in with the paint and go for blue but would that be too much?

 

[Clart]

Looked better silver imo.

Thanks mate,

I think im going to order some silver ones, there are only £6 but i dont want to keep changing them lol.

I love the yellow against the graphite alloys, but not against the blue paint work, they would probably look better on a titanium.

Ill order some silver ones and then wish i would have kept the yellow ones, i dont dislike them but im not 100%

All this fuss over some stickers lol.

 

[Mr Plums]

Looked better silver imo.

I did like the silver mate, but it didnt suit the wheel style as much as grey imo...

 

[danward]

Looks fantastic, I prefer the darker graphite.

 

[fez]

dark looks amazing

 

[kash]

that looks ace, even better with the yellow stickers

 

[Mr Plums]

Thanks guys, although i have now removed the yellow stickers which will be replaced with a more subtle silver tomorrow.

 

[Mr Plums]

Silver stickers + graphite nut covers...

Wheels look miles better in graphite than silver.

i liked them with the yellow decals too, made it look more aggressive and purposeful

I did like them too mate, but the yellow really stood out in person, it was the thing that jumped out at you the most, they look miles better silver imo, especially in person.

I was thinking about changing them for a set of revo milleniums or td pro race 3's.

I am really glad i didnt now.

 

[Ed.200]

Or you should, and I'll have those haha

 

[Mr Plums]

Cheers Laine The graphite do look better up close tho

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Graphite for me as well - i'm a massive fan of bright silver wheels but they ultras really need to be darker! Good work!

Thanks Dannyboy

I agree, they look like a totally different wheel now.

 

[koi]

Much better darker. It's the little things that make it that much better so can see why you had all that fuss over stickers.

It is mate yes, its the little things that add up the make the whole thing look better.

Thanks

 

[imprezaworks]

That looks really nice.

 

[Mr Plums]

That looks really nice.

Thanks mate, ill get some better pics up after a clean when we get a dry day...

 

[imprezaworks]

Are you still thinking of getting an impreza?

 

[Mr Plums]

Are you still thinking of getting an impreza?

No mate, i have changed my mind, im going to keep the clio as it hasnt cost me anything and its so cheap to run.

I really love driving it, i just fancied a change but ive had serious thoughts and i cant get rid just yet.

I do really love the imprezas but im going to wait a while longer until im a bit more on my feet with money and get something that really catches my eye.

 

[imprezaworks]

Don't blame you atall mate, car looks fab.
