Dodsons Petrol Blue 182

[Ricardos]

It was to give you an idea of how the silver looks on PB, I hated it at first and was going to put the OE anthracite wheels back on but they've won me over

It looks like you have a 16" Turini on the back and a 15" on the front.

Yeh kind of does in these pics! I best go check haha

I had a good look in your thread and again after your wheels were mentioned, yours looks mega clean on the silver wheels especially in that style, I've never liked turinis on silver though

I also think anthracite Turinis over silver and OE 182 anthracite wheels look better.

 

[Dodson]

Yeh I was originally after anthracite 182 wheels but these where too much of a good deal to pass up! Still want some OE's aswell as these. I probably prefer them over turinis even!

I think it's just the angle of the pic. When it's in the ramps it looks fine.

Petrol blue is a really nice colour. It's like owning a liquid yellow clio but less bright! What I mean by that is it changes colour and has 3 or 4 different coulours in the paint, whereas all the other 1*2 colours are either base, or have metallic fleck but no real colour change/flip. This colour looks awesome in the sun but still good when it's in low light.

Remember there's only 30 something in this colour and although it's an acquired taste it's nice to own a rare colour that is quite a special colour and understated. IMO.

Really like yours Ricardo, but no point me making it look the same, got have a little variation, I keep thinking about a really dusted gold type colour on the turinis, like Rays wheels type colour!

Those are Rays Racing Bronze.

Those are Rays Racing Bronze.

Yes I like them! See I think the gold that the petrol blue had in it would look awesome against that! It's tempting

Yeh I get what you mean, I think it's just gonna take some getting used too! Yeh 1/29 made in this colour, will probably only go up in value some day!

A new treat for the petrol blue today..

Washed and fitting will hopefully be tomorrow if the weather holds up, used the car daily all week for work and really starting to bond with it now, so much fun!

I agree totally on the colour but I own a petrol blue so I would :smile: Mine has the silver wheels so thought I'd attatch a couple of pics for you to look at.
