Chris180's New GTi

as I said yesterday bud the blue/gold looks stunning, even more so in rhe flesh, and the spacers just set the rears perfectly in the arch :cool:

and no worries bud, was a nice day for it, though yet again an n15 drew blood from me while I was working on it, this is a worrying trend :-/

Cars booked in for Tuesday. The sample colours they have made up for me aint very good, he is gonna make me a sample colour to try match the existing gold. If it turns out crap them I'm going for something gunmetal/anthracite.
I have a set of 4 alloy wheels spare that I could get done gunmetal etc to keep the gold one's buuuuuuut the gold one's are kerbed to fuck, pitted, covered in cv grease and have 10+years of engrained shite on them and don't want the hassle and cost of having to pay £14 a tyre to get them changed everytime I fancy jumping between the two sets.
 
Good luck I remember looking at a colour chart and being disapointed when I came to collect my wheels.. decided upon my colour now after seeing a few Audi/BMW alloys in the workshop being done in shadowchrome :)
 
Dropped the wheels of this morning, still couldn't make me a gold I liked so went for shadow chrome! Amazing finish as always, since they obv can't put the centre caps in the oven and shadow chrome doesn't come in a can they did the centre caps black, I went and bought a dark grey, sprayed over them and looks alot better with the colour match to the wheel but it's never gonna be a 100% colour match with that colour, esp as it changes in the light! Pics once I've fitted the last wheel once the hailstones stop!
 
Disappointed they're not going gold, but the new choice should look good. Looks like a funky gunmetal :) Look forward to the pics Chris.
 
Yeah a little disappointed that I couldn't keep it but the wheels badly needed re-done and no where else would do them in 6hours for £140 :) Never know maybe in future!
 
Haven't taken any pics I like yet, but noticed the colour looks different in just about light/angle and I don't think the iPhone is doing it much justice tbh.

I can't even remember what happened to the white one's now but these were the gold one's cause they were fucked.
