them bat man centres look sick lol

that has just made my day, i've just the same wheels on my black 16v and i've been wondering what colour to do them when i get them restored, maybe gun metal or graphite, but that has just answered it, black!! looks brilliant, i thought it may have been too much but now i've seen that i'm sold on the idea, good post fella!!!

i think someone on here has done his in green lol

looks good :)

i was thinking of getting a back and sides legal limit (16% i think) tint on the go too, this car is my sunday drive toy and only goes out in the dark, i'm going for the stealthy look.

:shock:

Damn it!! That was what I'm doing :lol:

Stealth for the win IMO!! The slipstreams on my 6n will be going black very soon to, aswell as the tints, my m8 has done the same to his ED Civic and it looks mental, and dont even notice it at night 8-)

well..........not until he flies past at 140mph with no lights on :lol:

shhhhhhhhhhhh

pretend u didnt hear that part :ninja:

They look good good buy i say,

love the batman ones :D

Always feels better when you take something thats a bit rough and make it into something thats not rough at all. Top work :thumbsup:

thanks m8 :D

any ideas for my centre caps ?? .... ws thiking spray them all black but I'm now sure if tht will look good or not .... Suggestions plz

Edited by parfay_2009

Have you got these on your car yet? i have the same colour 6n and i love black basic looking alloys like the ones you have, want to know if its worth picking some half decent cheap ones from the bay and cleaning up to put on my own whip.

Either A dark grey vw badge or silver to match the paintwork.

Most sign/graffic places can make them then they cover them in doming resin. Or eBay
