hi all just thought id post a few pics of my monaco 172 please excuse the wheels, give up on them atm in need of refurb which is being done next week, here goes,

there you go guys and girls, im thinking of doing the wheels black or anthicite. not sure but do like the white, all comments welcome good or bad. thanks.

Keep them white
will make the whole car look very clean after a refurb!
Paintwork looks very nice wish mine was as good

 

[Brookie.]

I like that.

The exhaust looks good!

Thanks guys, honestly paint ain't that good could do with a proper detail / correction, having it done when wheels get refurbed, so white is the colour to keep then.

Looking good mate, top effort.

I'm the same with my wheels too ha ha can't be arsed with them, cleaned my car today and hardly touched them

Refurb soon though!

Just hassle, I could clean them for hours and they would still look crap, it will be different story when refurbed. Can't wait, I really like the white but I drive 20 miles they are grey / Black dirty again... I hate white wheels!!! I've been looking into ford graphite grey as a colour which I quite like, but I don't know.

Haha exactly, waste of time, plus mine are curbed like fook (previous owners!)

Grey is a good choice, would compliment the blue well! And should hide dirt a bit easier lol

Thats the plan , mine arnt curbed or anything just original powder coat is now chipping / flaking off. I think grey will as well, I did like the thought of lumo orange for 5 mins then thought better of it haha.

I say go black or anthracite over the white mate. white get dirty easy and make the car look messy overall.

Looks good though exhaust is nice.

Looking good, I really like Monaco blue. I would go for a nice silver like the 172 wheels or go grey/anthracite.

What exhaust is that? Looks good in the bumper like it is.

 

[stotter34]

Thanks, okay now silver in the mix... Hmm... What a decision. :S.
Exhaust is, ktec de cat, de silenced power flow 2.5" ( believe it or not ) so just back box. Sound very nice IMO. Quiet raspy, but not to boomy on the motorway.

Thanks harry

Ye would really consider silver. It's a great colour against blue.

Okay, I've got to get friendly with someone who's good on photoshop. Haha. Something I'm not good with.
