Finally done black wheels!

[Alex1710]

Just thought I'd share some pics of my VXR8 now I've had the wheels painted!

Had a nightmare with the first company who did a terrible job of painting the wheels and the calipers!

The second company did a great job redoing the wheels, I now need to find someone to repaint the calipers as not many places do it

Why don't you paint the calipers yourself I did and was very happy with the result

:O Yellow?!

[Alex1710]

I may try that if I'm brave enough but I'm not sure I'll do a good enough job!

I will be repainting them red not yellow though!

Something a bit different is sometimes a bit better
they all know yellow on black looks far cooler than faded standard red

this was about "you can only paint GTS brakes Yellow" or something like that, went on for pages and resulted in 2 mods resigning in the end (amongst other reasons)

Nope, Colin wasn't the reason for mods resigning, that was a long time before.

I would have thought you'd remember the resignation incident.

was it over the man on man photo?

I think that was the final straw. The mods have been very good, and not aired dirty washing in public, so you'll have to catch them at a meeting to confirm.

What a fine colour combination for the VXR8!

I had my RS6 calipers done by the Caliper company. Postal service and the finished product was top notch. Mates got the car and does not clean it like I did and the calipers are still perfect, far better than you could hope to do with a rattle can I suggest.
