Yeah I was gonna do that job next but I saw someone elses Steel Grey car done and I think (IMO) that the black strips actually look OK on Silver cars - seems to break up the mid-line nicely............Am gonna leave...............
Still fancy a set of lowered springs though

Yes, very nice and worth huntng down the center caps. I too have decided on keeping the strips black. Lowering makes up the difference though!!

I can understand why you are leaving your strips black boz yellow is one of the hardest to get a good match with personaly and IMO the rub strips when painted look very nice and smart but thats just me mine is steel grey and I'm glad I had it done

I always debated getting the sidestrips done but, since mine is running the standard 16" alloys, I think that if the whole car was yellow it'd draw too much attention to the wheels and make them look small. And due to lack of wonga they be staying black!

Great Alloys Nello, car looks mint, although I'd book it in for a entire respray, 258 is the colour code you need to quote

Seriously though, nice one

Re: Wheel Fitted!!! (Pics!)

I have been doing an audit over in Leam recently, on the Sydenham Estate.

Plus have a yearly residential at Warwick Uni; usually around October time, can't wait.

Car is looking good, Nello

Love those wheels

As for the rubstrip i would keep it as it is, breaks up the silver colour nicely

Re: Wheel Fitted!!! (Pics!)

On anything bigger than a cento the bump strip really makes a difference. I personally don't like big areas of the same colour. Reminds me of vans
