how shall i make my alloys look goodish 4 cheap?

[sontino]

im a student and cant really afford much as u would expect, just wanna make my wheels look a bit better tho.

The car is silver so gonna paint the calipers yellow, but my alloys are th standard dynamique alloys, so i was thinkin how to tart them up,...

maybe a little bit of DIY refurb around the outside (car came with some minor scratches round the outside of rims).......but then i was thinkin possibly spray the alloys anthracite, i have found some threads with good colours to use......anyone think that would look crap or good, dont wanna screw up my wheels.

If someone has a pic of some anthracite dynamique alloys. if someone photoshopped them i would much appreciate it.

 

[sontino]

forgot to say.....mite put some brembo decals on the calipers....yay or nay!

 

[sontino]

someone tel me what they think?!

Give us a few pics mate, might get our imaginations working!

 

[sontino]

okay heres my best shot of the alloys, these are pics of the car when i bought it, so spray those badgers anthracite, and do the calipers yellow.......??!!

any1 wanna photoshop that, would be appreciated.

 

[sontino]

heres the pic

and heres the lovely 182 alloys in anthracite on the car (photoshop), if someone could photoshop colou code this i would appreciate it. what u think, then yellow calipers.

any1 rekon the dynamique alloys would look alright wen sprayed anthracite.

whats the best way to refurb alloys? cheaply!

 

[sontino]

heres my effort adding in a yellow caliper, anyone at least gonna give me an opinion??

 

[Peperami]

Would look alright mate. How about getting the side rubbing strtips colour coded too?

Wouldnt do the brembo decals though.

 

[tommyboy]

I think it looks good, can't do your photoshop sorry but yellow calipers on that would look mint imo. then do the 16v bagdes yellow

 

[alessandro]

i think thatll look quality mate...was thinkin of doin the same to mine fella...it looks wkd wit the 182 alloys!

 

[alessandro]

would take them door protector strips off thou mate :rasp:

 

[sontino]

ha, the door protectors r gone m8

and ye colour coding definately needs doing

still might do the decals, does en e 1 rekon spraying the dynamique alloys anthracite might look alright

 

[sontino]

used fireworks instead of photoshop, not bad for my first effort.......wot u think??

182 wheels will cost a bit more than a coating of paint.

 

[dick]

if you want it to look half decent, a better quality pic wouldnt go a miss

 

[sontino]

indeed it would.....i have none tho

will take some before and afters if i ever get round to colour coding
