I was set on painting them gold but now I'm having serious doubts about it Starting to wonder why I ever thought that might be a good idea.

Ive only had it a week or so and the guy i bought it from had it fully valeted before i bought it so i think your still seeing the benefits of that. I used a turtlewax general quick wax sort of thing when i washed it though.
very nice, same colour as the misses! See this on ebay and think the wheels suit the car in athracite so much more than the standard silver
We are going to paint the calipers on hers red in the next couple of weeks and go for a simular powder coating on the wheels
red and black colour comb tend to go well together, espeically with the panda badge being red and red fiat badges all round on the later models like ours.

Don't really fancy lowering it, the ride is firm enough for me as it is. Stickers or graphics aren't really my thing either, I even think the stripe from the pandemonium pack looks pretty crap tbh.
This is my first car that it would make sense to tune/modify in any way and I've pretty much come to the conclusion that even painting the calipers is a step too far for me. I think I'm gonna get a BMC air filter and that will be about it. If money was no issue I'd consider getting the calipers professionally done but to me it almost seems like more hassle than it's worth.
Thanks for your suggestions though
