thanks your a star! i was thinking gloss black all along but the guy at the engineering place said satin would be best... although he hasnt seen the car yet! im going on monday so get voting!

Silver for me, hate black, it looks like ya lost ya wheel trims :?

Gloss will show dirt much more then satin... and with enough dust will turn sating themselves! Plus with the fact they are MV's which are a bugger to keep clean i would say satin.... however if you were braver you could carry on the yellow black theme..... have black centers with a yellow rim!

if you're dead set on black, for me I'd choose Satin... but how would gloss-finish gunmetal/anthracite look?

 

[jamiez]

silver. But satin if you go for black.

have you photoplopped a pic of your car with black wheels to make sure they look ok?

Anthracite is the way forward in my oppinion, had that on my silver mr2 mk3 looked mint

satin

VERY quick colour change (the guys on here photoplop well.... I do it just to see if things 'work' or not when I change things, so its very rough) ...but
looks .... i don't know.... 'dirty' and you are starting with such an upmarket nice lookng car! Is that look you are going for?

 

[Taz]

nope, not nice

 

[Sirwacko]

They certainly don't suit the car on that pic! What about glossy black with the BMW badge still in the middle? I'm really unsure now as to what to do! I wish I could photoshop... What about antracite?

do you want me to do them 'grey' with the BMW caps in the centre (just a quick job)?

 

[lob808]

just a quickie :wink:

defo worth learning photoplop (actually I use paintshop pro). You don't have to be fab at it (like some of the guys on here), but it really helps sometimes. I've used it to check the paint scheme in our rooms in the house, outside door colours, fence styles in out back garden .... all sorts! Its surprising how you 'think' things will work and then see it on psp and it just doesn't work. Saves SO much time and money

still think silver suits your car best mate.
