Hi all

Not posted for ages, but after damaging most of my alloys over the months, I decided to get them powder-coated while I was having new tyres.

Looks good, any plans on tinting the tails to complete the blacked out look?

Nice, the wheels do really suit the car. How much did it set you back?

I think tinting the tails lights might be a step too far for me.

It was ?300 but the rims all had to be repaired too.

I considered satin black but I think as the car looks blue in certain lights that it might have looked a bit weird. The anthracite is quite dark but is just not so black as to draw attention to the paint colour.

Night to have perfect rims again - severe case of kerb-fright now though - I AM that person that parks 3 feet from the pavement!!!
