No they didn't. They've always looked cheap and tacky. And this Impreza just look awful. The OP has been taken for a right mug too, paying £1500 for the job! Jesus wept...

Right, i'm getting some and doing my wheels. I have a Focus ST170, the wheels are known to be pretty flaky, plastidip win, the only question is do i do them in a sensible colour like this?

Or in one of these colours because i'm a massive child?

I think we know where this will end up.

It's gotta be this surely:

Aye

Do it Gus!

I was thinking more the pink or the green.
Get paid on Tuesday will decide on colour then. After that it is off to FB to borrow some axle stands, i think i will try the first attempts with the wheels removed.

I can think of a better way of wasting £1500 and yes purple looks ste!!

Bet it was a freebie... and if you are gonna have a free temporary colour change... why not go crazy! I can see how the OP was thinking...

BUT its a massive fail. Looks totally and utterly minging

[Funpotato]

This is hillariously brilliant and i love it.

[okie592]

theres a guy on a mk4 golf forum who sprayed his matt black with plasti dip, spent about £100 on the paint and £30 on a spray gun,

Nope they've always been unber-chavy.

There's a bloke near me who's just turned a perfectly nice looking Bentley Continental (was finished in deeply glossy black) into a matt turqiose chav chariot. It looks so unbelivably gash I was considering taking a picture and posting it here. But the I realised he'd probably think I like it and that might encourage him.

Too risky. He's a bit of an attention we. All that would happen is that all his mates would then wrap their Audis in the same colour. And paint the wheels black.

And we DON'T want that.....

[Adz The Rat]

I like it, but then I would, my car is painted in matte red graffiti paint.

For those saying he has ruined it, its only a car! He hasn't ruined it at all, he just made it a little different.

Here's my Ferrari. It isn't ruined, it's just different so the value should be the same.

[RobCrezz]

I cant believe you paid £1500 for that. You could have done it your self for about £300! Its not even hard looking at some of the diy jobs and youtube videos!

Careful, you'll anger the people in the "Stupid things none petrolheads say" thread.


And worrying about resale values is why we've ended up with everyone driving a silver diesel hatchback in a spec chosen by the salesman.

[jgtv]

I like it.
Makes a change from seeing yet another recession white or resale silver car.

[LovelyTia]

I damaged my old alloys badly so ordered a few tins of black to spray then with.
Lasted the 4 months it took me to replace them with no peeling.
It is a royal pain to peel off after that long though. If its thick enough (which this appears to be) it should be a lot easier.

Might order me some purple and spray the spares for winter use now.

[radio man]

It now looks as if it has been 'tangoed' by the blackcurrent brigade Oh and the nice people who charged you £1500 for the privalage, was the boss man called george osborne by chance and were his little army of helpers all wearing white coats and latex gloves , they usualy do wear the extra long latex gloves when they shaft someone and you my son have been bloody well and truly shafted by an expert.
And you wander why it never took off on this side of the pond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[burntbiscuit376]

One word: why?

Sorry but I think that looks hideous.

[Froomee]

A different colour maybe but for me the car looks lovely (wheels included) in the before picture and looks a bit tired in the after ones. Maybe a matt blue or red with the original wheels would have been better?
