Phase 1 wheel colour. Anthracite or black??

[Haydn M]

Getting my oz f1's refurbed next week but can't decide weather to get them done in anthracite or gloss black . The cars silver if any ones has any pics of a silver phase 1 with black or anthracite f1's or maybe a different colour I haven't thought of getting done . All help is much appreciated

 

[ADS_V6]

hi i would honestly keep it standard colour on that car,really looks the part

 

[Johndolan1979]

Keep them silver

 

[Haydn M]

I do like the standard look but I also really like dark wheels , that why I thought the anthracite would be happy medium as its only a little bit darker that standard

My old ph1 with black F1's;

 

[Haydn M]

That just made my decision harder . Are those phase 2 door strips a straight swap or do they need bonding on ? Definatly need to get me a cup spoiler

 

[MATTJRALLYE]

Anthracite or silver, I went for anthracite tho...

 

[Bluebeard]

Straight swap mate.

 

[Jekyll]

Personally I think silver looks best on them.

 

[Haydn M]

They look extra dark for anthracite , are they a matte finish

 

[Haydn M]

Straight swap mate.

Will be hunting for some then cheers

Just to convince you silver is the way to go....

Yours looks like iceberg in your other thread too. Where abouts in Hertfordshire are you?

They were done in skoda grey anthracite and only a light few coats of laquor so they do look fairly matte

Wish id have gone silver now tho looking at this!

 

[ADS_V6]

that pic wants me to go get a phase 1, thanks Dr Jekyll

 

[Jekyll]

Haha, do it!

Retro-cool ftw (With silver wheels)

That does look pretty damn sexy , is that a set of 4 pots hiding in there. I'm in markyate near St. Albans .

 

[Haydn M]

Dr Jekyll is that just standard silver on the wheels ? Also are they on 195/50's

 

[Johndolan1979]

Silver ftw

 

[Jekyll]

@Haydn M Yep they are standard OZ F1's in 15" in a wheel silver. They will be getting refurbed next year (few scuff marks and I want them mint) and i'll go a bright silver again.

Car is lowered on BC coilovers and has spacers so maybe that's why it gives the illusion the wheels may look bigger.

Also, yes it has Hi-Spec 4 pots. I live in Harlow, but work in Tewin so not too far from you.

So you decided on silver then, yeah?

 

[ADS_V6]

Haydn cup spoiler in silver just in the sales section

 

[Jekyll]

Iceberg as well!

[Haydn M]

Never thought of spacers , you got any side pics so I can compare the look . The pictures of your car are making me want to go silver as yours looks the nuts but the years of dark alloy love is telling me to go slightly darker than silver . Need to see pics of one with gloss anthracite or graphite I think . You got any phase 1 parts ? My engine mount has split in half

 

[Haydn M]

Cheers for the spoiler heads up , just messaged him

 

[Jekyll]

I'll post up a few in a mo.

As for engine mounts, get a kangoo one for £25. Same fitment as the sport but slightly stiffer (apparently) and over half the price.

 

[Haydn M]

Thanks for that info , saved me a few quid cheers

Pics with spacers and silver wheels. Car is on BC coilovers and has 20mm front wheel spacers and 10mm rear hub spacers:

As i said, i personally think silver looks the best. You cant beat a bit of OEM/OEM+ and silver will always look clean and fresh.

 

[Jekyll]

Also regarding engine mounts, these are the cheapest i could find:

I have this one on mine and has been fine:

[DannyR]

I think black will only work if lowered, silvers works as a great all rounder.

 

[KitsonRis]

If the car is very standard and OEM then silver, or a darker silver, but not anthracite. The black works on DannyR's as it has a few extra things like the mirrors being black and a cage.

if it is a track toy then the colour has to be full yobo and in your face....but that is just my opinion!

Your car sits just right. What suspension set up do you have?

 

[Jekyll]

BC coilovers, standard top mounts, 20mm h&r hubcentric front spacers and 10mm rear hub spacers

That's just perfect [emoji2]

 

[Jekyll]

Thank you. Got a bit more to do (getting the car painted to get it mint and getting the wheels refurbed) but it's pretty much there

I'm in markyate near St. Albans .

This takes the biscuit for postcode snobbery.
Markyate is a good 10 miles from St Albans,but only half a mile away from having an LU1 postcode.
Another 10 years of ribbon development along the A5 and it will be South Dunstable.

ha ha I couldn't believe it had a St. Albans postcode either when I moved here ,I guess it's just another way to over charge people living here

Actually it could be saving you a bit on car insurance.
LU1 is high risk,as opposed to medium for genteel AL3.

That's true , mines gone up from my old hp3 address
