What do you guys think? Is the silver - as it is now - or the gunmetal the way to go.

any comments are welcome :)

the black, the black, the black it should be!!!!


very, very stealthy!:D

the silver is more subtle, but the gunmetal has exclusivity and "the dark side of the force"!

tricky,

toss a coin,

hang on, ok - heads silver, tails gunmetal......









tails - gunmetal - thats what i make it with my penny piece :D:D:D

Thanks for all the comments!!

mmm... I had almost gone for the gunmetal... but each time I look at the silver it looks nice aswell... I can't make up my mind *doh*

maybe I really should toss a coin :) ...no wait! I'll just colorcode one side gunmetal and leave the other side silver so then everyone's happy!? :D

At last! I've got a black Sti Wagon, and I've been wondering the same.

My pref. would be to go for the gunmetal, though maybe slightly lighter colour than the ones shown (assuming thats a PhotoShop'd picture?)

Black and Silver just looks to ordinary for me....

BlackStar 23 September 2003 07:34 PM

That looks the biz I reckon.

Piccys of my car - pretty much the same as yours, as it looks like you have the STi rear spoilers.

Mmmmmh, that STi wagon looks so nice! Is that a jap import? I have to admit I'm a bit jealous :D it's a pitty there never was a LHD STi Ver.1-6 :( so therefore I went for the STi rear lights and spoiler and the Ver.6 frontsplitter.

will post the results as soon the job is done :)

I like the silver out of the top 2 pics (the very dark gunmetal ones make that car look cheaper & untidy IMO).

But the lighter (more gunmetal ones) on the lower pic look v.nice! Maybe it's anthracite your after on these - to make it lighter than the gunmetal???

How about some coloured centre cap as well (a red or blue) just to set the wheels out even more!

Well, after a long time I finally made a desicion and that's what turned out:

Sorry for the big pics, but I hope you like it.

i have just been comparing the photos of the silver and the white wheels and personally i would have stayed with the silver ones (sorry mate , that is just my opinion) also why have you RE-tangoed your car, it defo looked better DE-tangoed.

Yeah - it's different, very nice ;)

As long as you like em, that's all important!

BlackStar 22 May 2004 02:55 PM

Thanks for the comments :)
Yeah it's different and there are certainly different opions on that. 95% of the alloys you see on the streets are silver. That got me bored a little. So I tried to do something else.
About the RE-tangoed thing... Well, there's only one excuse for that: JDM style rocks \(^o^)/ :D (but I'm honestly thinking about putting the clear ones back in)

skoosh 22 May 2004 06:07 PM

BS, that wagon looksthe bollox mate, love the white wheels with black.

My wagon is white with gunmetal Tsw reflex 17's, great combo.

Wagon's rule.

Skoosh.
