I'd revert back to standard in that case, or could go bianca white to stand out a bit? I reckon both would look good with nile.________________________________________ 2005 Peugeot 206 GTI 1802008 BMW K1200R |

Only problem with wax is that it picks up all the other shite on the road. Brake dust shouldn't be too much of a problem in honesty. It barely stand out any more than on the silver paint. ________________________________________ 2005 Peugeot 206 GTI 1802008 BMW K1200R |

Graphite or silver suit nile really well. White is a pain in the ass to keep clean and I personally think only look good on a white car. ________________________________________ |

I think blaze would look allright? Could look like the Subaru colours. And they always seem to go well. ________________________________________ 2005 Peugeot 206 GTI 1802008 BMW K1200R |

sorry the only pic i have is my avatar, bit small but you get the gist. I got gti distinction to powder coat them. They clean up so easily, no scuffs, can still see my ugly mug in them after 6 months and over a hundread washes. Only warning is you need a minimum of 15mm spacers so they clear your suspension and extended wheel bolts. Go for hubcentric spacers and not hubcentric adaptors.Ihad 25mm hubcentric adaptors and i lost a wheel at 60 on the aston expressway :s very scary hope this helps. ________________________________________ the world is changed by people in sheds |
