Default Wheel colour opinions

Going to be refurbing the wheels soon to remove a few curb scuffs.

Thought I might change the centre colour while I was at it but cant decide which I prefer..









Silver, Anthracite or Black ?

Funny you should say that, was thinking of a carbon bonnet as I now have a FMIC fitted and want to loose the scoop.

Anybody know if there is a carbon bonnet available without a hole where the scoop goes ?

Thanks

The scoop is very essential for the Scooby. Without your car will heat up and lose power.
But if you think you got it sorted, I will find some company you makes carbon hoods and tel them to make you one without the scoop hole.

He's got a front mount fitted so therefore doesn't need the TMIC & therefore scoop anymore

Thats why I dont need the scoop anymore.

However I photoshopped it off and did not like it without one. Could turn it around I suppose ( thinking aerodynamics here )

Another vore for Anthracite

As for bonnet scoop, how about the reverse scoop that's actually a vent to draw hot air out as per WRC

Thats what im thinking now.
Not sure if its possible to just turn the original scoop around. There is a slight curve along one of the straight edges, but not much.

score so far ( people that have said "THIS OR THAT" I have gave a point for each )

Siver 9
Antracite 8
Black 5

Thanks Guys.
Thats really helping

Anymore for Anymore
