^^??^^


sorry m8 that looks terrible IMHO

 

[Scott]

looks a bit odd imo matey, however if they were all white with a polished lip it would look spot on against the red

sorry m8 that looks terrible IMHO

Dont be sorry... i wanted ppl to tell the truth... im just playin with colours and stuff at the mo...Any idea on colours?

 

[172 Dave]

darker m8 albeit anthracite is being overkilled at the moment.....

mayb mayb...that is an idea....that ive also fort about...

 

[Bradharding]

Uhmmm. White with black centre and lip?

 

[_Kenny_]

all white would look great on the red, anthracite is too common and black wouldn't look as good as white

 

[clio head]

i rek..white would look rally like...if ya know wat i mean

 

[Remedi]

I think the idea is good but the wheel needs to be sandblasted professionally to get rid of all the imperfections. (something i'd like to do)

The masking could be neater too

 

[Day]

Stay off the weed son.

OZ F1 Cups are what you want.
Jas's car always looked mint on them

SandBlasting...how much would that cost??? oi and keep off the maskin..took me like 15 minutes!!!! Cheeky bugger...:rasp:

 

[Nafoff]

sandblasting don't cost much.....at most £15 a wheel

 

[clio head]

rrrr ok ok....not breakin the bank..

 

[Nafoff]

totally white with no polished lip, but a red inner rim......would look mint

 

[clio head]

wat do u mean by the rim...the bit ive left polished

 

[clio head]

ok ok ... ive just been stupid...:S

 

[Nafoff]

well either the outer rim...or what i would be tempted to do is the bit between the rim and the spokes

 

[clio head]

sooo not the lip... that 5mm edge bit....??? feel free to copy a pic of mine and draw on it

 

[Nafoff]

yeah...maybe i will in a bit

 

[clio head]

your the best bud in the world

 

[clio__chris]

im not really into white wheels....... but here u go
for some reason ur tyres seem to have disapeared! might wanna get that looked at....

 

[clio head]

wen was that pic taken ...hmmmmm....not too0o sure on that pivc tho..mayb the white could be broken up with a lil red like freebon says

 

[Djw Dave]

i like all white

 

[clio__chris]

heres the high res version of the original pic if u want it

got more of ur car on track but aint bothered sorting through them yet but they dont look too good

 

[Nafoff]

i have done 3 variations on the red and white idea mate, anymore ideas let me know

red on inner rim

red on outer rim

red on turbine spokes

 

[Matteh]

what did u use to strip all the old paint off?

i'm using nitromors on mines, but it still takes ages.. would really like a strong dremel attachment

 

[clio head]

i used nitromors is well... but use wire wool first to scratch it a lil then nitromors with wire wool...then get the wire brush attachment out for ya drill and give it some stick!


Neil im likin some of them ideas...might make a start that one of them ideas l8er...

 

[clio head]

think ill try all white...then ill think about puttin a red inner line...

 

[Nafoff]

sounds good chap

 

[clio head]

just stripped all the old paint off...back to metal..all i need now is some paint
