H there could someone make my wheels white and my Brembos (although it probably won't show) black.

Thanks in advance





Hopefully the pics are ok.

Only had time to do the one, looks good I think!

The missus has gone to bed so no more nagging about being on the laptop so here you are:




I say do it

Thanks dezmondo, that's going straight to the top of the list. I can see some more overtime coming up me thinks It does look sweet with them wheels. Unusual.

dezmondo

Love the monochrome look myself!

Maybe a detango and white Sti logos would finish it off.

Give me 10 min!

Crikey, thats going to mean more O/T

Go ahead looking forward to it.!!!!

dezmondo

Here you are:



I like it even more now!!!

Cheers mate I have just set that picture as my desktop background so as the wife can see it every time she switches the laptop on, gets her used to the idea

Couple of questions:
Would you paint or powder coat the wheels
Where do you reckon I could get some white decals from

Thanks

dezmondo

Good plan, tell her you'll remove the pic when she lets you have the work done.

Actually painted my own wheels using elbow grease and halford rattle cans, a year on they still look sweet and only cost about 27 quid to do.

Had wheels on My Clio Cup and Clio Williams done by Laptab in Brum, they do a same day service where you drop your car then spend day browsing Brum, picking up car later (even on a Sat) with wheels back on and you ready to roll. The job they do is second to none in my opinion! (Alloy Wheel Refurbishment West Midlands - Plastic Finishing and Painting - Classic Car Restoration)

Do a search, you'll read loads on here about wheel refurbing!

Also, there is at least one sign maker on here who'll do the logos. I had Prodrive ones made up to my own colour and spec and they were only a fiver or so, can't remember where I got those though (will have a look tomorrow).

Again, do a search!

Finally, search for de-tangoing, looks scary but plenty of advice on here!

Main thing is to put pics up when you've done it and PM me to let me know you have!

Cheers and good luck.

Here's a bigger version for your desktop too!

Cheers, again. Just done a load of searches and got loads of info !!
I have been thinking about de-tangoeing for a while now, just trying to work up the guts to do it
Going out on the lash this weekend so probably should leave it this week

dezmondo

Oh I dunno, eleventeen beers and an oven at 500 degrees, what could go wrong?

Will look if you create the look though!

Right, off to !
