So. . . in a moment of lucidity I thought about adding a splash of needless & frivolous colour to my Griff's Oz Racing wheels. They've been refurbished so look spot on as is!

Take a look in My Garage to how she looks currently. I was thinking of painting the four large central nuts something contrasting, subtle, or leave as is.

How about a subtle TVR logo (black white pinstripe) on each nut face. Or instead how about an outer part of the rim to accentuate wheel movement?

Probably just leave alone?! smile

NO

dont spoil perfection!

my first chimaera was the colour combo, yet to see a better combo tbh, timeless smile (unless tampered with of course)

eta: if you had the mona lisa hanging on the wall you'd want to give her a bigger smile.

That looks the Bocensoredks as is !!! (although you could paint the split rim nuts and the central nut fluorescent pink) just to brighten up a dull day. coffee

At Last, a Griff that has the interior specced properly clap The dash being the same colour as door surrounds and NOT the inserts. Cool cool
Wheels? TVR center logo.

Exterior colour is Nightfire Red - I believe its a Rover colour.

Re the wheels, replace the current logo with the TVR logo? I might have to get the specially made up?

Not to everyones' taste, however this might give you some perception of the coloured centre nut on a similar wheel.

I think I'll try a set of these

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TVR-logo-style-WHEEL-DEC...

One on alternate nut faces (if they fit!?) with a single black pinstripe on the other three faces.

Easily removable if it turns out pants! smile
