I did this colour wheel change for you ages ago.

As you say, you bodywork is not all the same matching colour, does it not matter what colour your wheels are...each one a different colour, red, blue, pink and white...oh and peuce (sp?)

There is not much that will go with your type of yellow, unless you get a respray in a deaper yellow...WRX colour, then gold would go and so would black, but as your colour yellow, cashmere yellow is rather pale these colours won't really lookright. But thats just me.

Anyways I thought you where after a Turbo?? Has that I dear been put on hold after recent sadness in your life?

i was going to have a conversion but funds are low, the funeral was very i may have a respray instead as the colour mismatch is very noticable even from a distance.

i dropped one wheel off today at Max Powder and he suggested going for a different colour. i kept changing my mind but i am deffo going to stick to the white now

i fell in love with Momo Corse, black and chrome but the chrome is not easy to repair if you kerb the wheels
chrome is a fashion thing that will go out of fashion

i cant wait till i get them all done
