bananawhip 0 Posted April 21, 2010 Right, A mate of mine works in a bodyshop and is respraying my RC's to any colour I want... Car's aqua blue with a carbon fibre bonnet, thinking I want the wheels to match the bonnet, anybody recommend a nice colour... I'm currently set on Audi's Daytona Grey pearl effect in a gloss finish, that going to look cool or poo? I'm not definitely set on Grey though, Suggestions please...

Jim Bowen 1 Posted April 21, 2010 carbon fibre paint is very time consuming i know that much. i like silver wheels and colour coded bonnets :( other than that i would suggest black wheels Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poll250 0 Posted April 21, 2010 Seems like every 'modified' car I see nowadays has a set of black wheels on so it's put me off them big time in the last few weeks. The black-chrome effect I think MK4 Annis have on their RCs is really good though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the shadow chrome, It is indeed a very cool colour but I don't want them to look like I robbed them straight of an Anni, I'm thinking something in between the 2 colours Thanks for the suggestions so far Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted April 21, 2010 look at some old pics of Ballys car, he had he's RC's done in a dark anthracite and look very good. i have some pics of mine when they are done black and will put up a pic later with the carbon bonnet fitted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers for that, just checked Ballys build thread and it's perfect, pretty much just how I want mine. Looks very similer to my car already. So I'm thinking Audi Daytona Grey in a satin finish, (R8 below is obviously gloss) with chrome centres but black BBS badges off ebay...see below 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfdaytona-grey_carbon.jpg[/attachment:3j0gwzpw] caps.jpg[/attachment:3j0gwzpw] Thanks for everyones input, KADVR6 it would be great to see that pic with the carbon bonnet too.. Tom don't worry mate it'll look mean alright, fixed the oil leak and definately making full boost now so it's nearly ready to make it's debut, just the RC's and Porsche calipers to sort out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
