I like the look of the forged wheels I have on but the overall look is just so dark with the grey of the car.

I was thinking of changing the calipers to yellow and centre cap to yellow to help.

Was also thinking about changing the colour of the wheels or possible getting the spokes/ outer edges CNC'd if thats actually possible..

What do you guys think?

Maybe get a photoshop first, but I think changing the wheels to silver with the yellow centres will give the whole car a lift - will look better IMO.

I'd do that before looking at caliper colours - on a GT like this the black calipers are nicely subdued
Thought about this and silver wheels do look good on some but can look a bit dated. After seeing the F12 below with yellow calipers and centres I think it makes all the difference.

Yellow centres and yellow ferrari decals on the black calipers?
Thats an interesting idea ... saves a bit of cost too .. was that an option when new?

Going to take the tint off the windows this weekend

Booked to get the wheels sprayed silver in a few weeks time. I remember I had silver spider wheels on my TVR's and I used to have to clean the inside twice a week if I was using it regularly, plus every now and then take all wheels off to clean the inside part. I don't have this patience anymore to do this so I'm wondering whether to get the inside sprayed gloss black to hide it a bit? what do you think? look naff?
