Hi

Can any of you Photoshop experts have a play around with the two pics below?

Im looking to see what its going to look like with the roof scoop removed and Im thinking of having my wheels painted gloss black. They are supposed to be Hyper Black, but they looked darker in the marketing pictures when I ordered them

Any assistant will be greatly appreciated

Cheers for that

The scoop is going very very soon

Might have a re-think about painting the wheels black though.

no probs.

i like the scoop. can'y really have one on mine as it's a 4 door and imo it doesn't look right but they look good on the 2 door.

i think the wheels look good in the hyper black but i love them in gold!!

The scoop gets mixed reactions to be honest. I get loads of young kids and usually teenagers thumbs up etc But I reckon there are also a fair few people who don't have a clue laughing as well. I might just be being para but I dont think so
Plus the amount of drag that it must generate is That could be worth an extra 0.1 second on the strip

Just got rid of a set of gold Oz Super T's for the black chrome look, so I think going back to gold would be a bit pointless tbh, but you're right they do look good in gold.

i know what you mean about kids giving the thumbs up. that's the only think i don't like about owning my scooby. always seems like the wrong people are impressed in my experience.

i bet that scoop goes give a bit of drag, esp by the end of the 1/4 mile when speeds are getting up!!

would be a bit pointless going back to gold. just let the brake dust build up them a bit if you want the wheels to be a little darker they do look good though. not seen many about with those on.

Black wheels all the way.. i like a lot.

Exactly, young kids and teenagers (read as: scallys) appreciating it and the other laughing. Not great

It certainly whistles a lot at highspeeds which is quite annoying.

Nah, I'd have to clean them, it would do my head cleaning the car but leaving the wheels dirty. I've only seen one other scoob with them on and that was a show car at TOTB4 and they had painted them in a gloss black, that was what prompted me to get them in the first place.

Hi Mate

I reckon bronze would make those rims look awesome.

What are they BTW???

Not keen on bronze alloys.

They're made by Kei Racing and they are 18" Velocity's in Hyperblack (a very light black chrome)

Would you be able to have a bash at this pic with the black wheels? I think they might be starting to grow on me a bit.
Is it poss to get a gloss black instead of matt black?

ended up being a mistake but i carried on as i quite like the look of a lighter edge to the rim. makes the wheels look a little bigger imo.

Thanks for that.

I prefer them with the silver rim, and it does make the wheels look pretty big

Im def thinking of getting it done. Just need to get a price.

scoobydooooo

i think the car looks fine as is !! ok the scoop could go but the wheels look fine IMHO

Wheels look mint in that pic Jeff, leave them as is!

Still havent made my mind up tbh. I'll see how it looks after I've had the body work sorted out. Probably wont have any pennies left after that anyway

The general concensus so far is leave then as is. We'll see.
