Pic request - Monaco Blue 172 On 182 Wheels

[Billy]

Hi all (Can you help)?

I have a set of 182 wheel for my Monaco 172. the wheels are in anthracite but 2 have slight curbing on them (just taken a little paint off) so before I put any rubber on them I'm going to touch them up. I was only going to do the 2 and put them on the same side just in case there was a slight colour difference from the 2 originals.


But now I'm unsure!!! Do I just keep them in anthracite or paint all 4 in Silver, I've been looking all over for pics of Monaco 172's with 182 wheels but can't find any.

SUGESTIONS PLEASE.

Not quite the same colour but the next best thing, and an awesome car!

Few bits changed since that meet (bonnet, exhaust & spoiler)

Hmmm not to sure about anthracite now, it looks OK but I think silver looks better, still would like to see a Monaco with silver 182 wheels though (photo-shop anyone).

At the moment it's between the 182 rims or my original 172 rims both in silver.

Shame it's got 5 doors.

Not really, started off as a 1.2 - full 182 conversion under that

I think there are deff better looking wheel combinations to go on a Monaco 172 than 182 Cup wheels.

I think in general those 182 wheels look a bit s**t whereas I think the standard wheels on a 172 suit it very well.

If you fancy a change just respray the current wheels first.
