My new VXR

[Koa]

I wouldn't mod the wheels. Makes them look smaller imo

Yeah but being 19's they are big enough to take it. I want to make my car a bit different from the others with 19's and that's a good cheapish way to do it.

.......

Keep em silver and tint the windows instead.

Gloss black spokes or dark graphite, what do you think of these ?

Should add at least 5bhp :chin:

Yup 5bhp defiently

I had exactly the same idea with my claw alloys as ive wanted to make then slightly different for a while and didnt know if full black was the way! by any chance you could do a photoshop of my wheels like that koa mate

Yeah it looks hard with the alloys black with silver rim. Go for it

 

[hmallett]

I'll be taking a few videos but more so to actually show the car rather than show it's power, you need a race track for that

Just photoshop them white. Just wanna see how they look white. But the black / graphite look is pretty sweet.

Only thing im not a fan of is the Blue brakes they should have been red on a red car.

Just know that red / white usually go well together after seeing the C4 WRC car thats getting entered next year i loved the white wheels looked bloody lovely on it.

I did do some white one's but I deleted them straight away, there's too much black and graphite on this car to not do them in a dark colour.

The calipers are one thing I wasn't sure about but they are standard on a VXR and I didn't want to take away stuff that made the car recognisable. But if I do get the wheels painted dark then the calipers will be getting painted red, black or silver because blue would just look well out of place.

Whoot, this is something I thought I would never see with this car.

I went out this moring for a long drive on some winding country roads, mixed with a lot of town driving, loads of variations with acceleration and braking etc, came home and took this picture of my average MPG for the mornings fun.

There's a couple of other pictures thrown in just for pose value

 

[1.8Stilo]

35.2mpg thats more than my car!!!

looking good mate

although i defiently fink you should go with the black centre's on the wheels

oh & thanxs for the photoshop already been in contact with a few places, hopefully should be going down tomo to get em booked in

 

[H2DaE]

Wow, thats 3mpg off of my car

 

[beau]

is this now a vauxhall forum? because all the fiat cars get less than a page, but this vauxhall seems to have got 8 pages...

 

[H2DaE]

Just wait until the GPunto Abarth comes out and someone buys one Beau... We'll forget all about the VXR

 

[thepottleflump]

VXR What?

That's because of my persistence, if I stopped posting here then it would be a different matter. I had the same thing with threads about the Stilo. I just don't think it's right to start a new thread for every little bit of crap that needs discussing especially when it's not a Fiat. Besides, you don't have to look.

 

[H2DaE]

Beau just doesn't get that way of posting, usually he starts 20 threads, each get one post telling him to use the thread he started 5 minutes ago for the same thing and then they disappear...
