Sounds like a good idea  :happy2:

I was thinking about changing the red lipstick (don't tell Robin) to either silver or white. Since I changed to the R32 brakes which I had I black powder coated the red lipstick doesn't really match up with anything now :ashamed:

I love the look of the black calipers and black wheels.




Also Steve, love your mirrors in black  :wink:   Did you do them yourself? Are they still like that?

That was when they were wrapped in Carbon Fibre wrap.( Mirror housings)

Looks great but gets very "Tired" looking after a while and also the wrap tries to shrink back to its origonal size, and looks pap.

Mine are Now Painted Gloss Black to go with wheels, front chin, and Front grill and Rear diffuser section. :happy2:. I brought a spare pair and sprayed them Black gloss.

I know what you are saying about the carbon  :wink: Although my diffuser is still ageing well I think I will be spraying it Satin Black soon.

The gloss black mirrors look real classy  :happy2: Your monza's look amazing in gloss, and for some reason (like nath's gloss rocco wheels) they look massive. They look more like 19's.

Oh I see mate, I was looking at your signature and I thought that your Huffs/monza's were satin. I realise now that you have got an Ed30 in silver  :congrats:

So what wheels are on the Ed30?.....Pescara's?
