I love them wheels. Thought about them for mine when i had it..

Metalic black or a deep metallic blue i think would look sweet as....

I agree, great looking wheels. As for the colour, it was a toss-up between black and dark blue, in the end I went for black, it'd be like a stealth mini...

I was thinking black or blue and went for black.





The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.

Black's a mare to keep looking fresh. I'd go for an original colour, prolly something that featured in the Italian Job. Like the wheels.

I would go for a really deep metallic purple at the front, blended into a metallic green and then a pearl white at the back. Sort of like a fade effect. On top of that I would then overlay some metallic charcoal (loads of metalflake) flamesrunning down the sides and over the bonnet....

If I had the time/money/skill I would also put some really subtle detail in the white on the back too. Sort of like some kind of skull type graphic that was painted in the same white as the back end, but with less pearl effect. More of a flat white so that graphic only really stands out in certain light conditions.

Either that or fluorescent orange with metallic charcoal detailing (stripes perhaps).

Cheers
Andy





Dammit! Too many decisions....

Jaguar racing green with an old english white roof, looks the business so you'd better get an engine to go with it. edit:- Sling the wheels and get a proper set of 10" ones, you know it makes sense.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

A friend at college had a mini on 7" wide mini lite wheels, painted BRG and it looked very nice. He had painted the wheels silver with some green and the windows tinted black for the final touch.
