Good job, but why black???

I'm one of these, too much contracts looks wrong people, dark silver looks good, but black IMHO is too much.

Looks pretty good in the pics, what's the finish like?

I would imagine a good dose of wheel wax will help prolong the finish until you're ready to get them done properly, especially with the coming winter months.

jiff i went for black as my last set were black, and it was a diy job really. when i finally get round to gettin them professionally done i may change the colour, need some photoshop advice and maybe look at all the diff shades of grey/silver/black. another reason for the black is im thinking of gettin the bonnet and spoiler black.
thanks nick, the finsih is quite good , went for a satin black paint ,so all shiney at the moment but i will see what they turn out like overnight thanks for the wheelwax tip
sparky ur very true!
