Your thoughts please - Steel Grey with black bits

[Hedge]

I know this guy that used to do wheel refurbs. I got in contact with him as the clowns at Costco managed to damage 2 of my wheels recently when they changed my tyres. He has supplied the quote and they have coughed up already.
He now owns a bodyshop and has come forward with a few ideas for my car.

Gloss black wheels
Gloss black splitter and rear valance
Possibly wing mirrors

Followed up with tints

He has a wheel that he can show me tomorrow but I am having trouble visualising the rest.
Heres a pic of my car if some of you photoshop gurus want to have a pop.



Any thoughts and comments before I take the plunge.

PS. He also mentioned doing the honeycomb in gloss black to match the mask.

Sounds familiar  , gloss black alloys, lee's car has gloss back. Not sure if thats too dark, or you will need to break the all black look with something else.
Perhaps photoshop a photo from S.C onto yours. Have a look on Scirocco centrals website for some pics posted of lees car.

Not a fan of black wheels so I would refrain from doing the wheels , but the other mods sound good.

piccies i took of lees to save you looking on SC

Love the idea of black with the red

if you black the wing mirrors then you'll need to smoke the lenses below

I saw the gloss black finish wheels today and they do look quite good.

I think for anything else I will end up having them wrapped as he knows a man who can for that as well.

I think all of it would look the nuts! The black contrast on the front/rear splitter works so well - especially on ED30's.

The wheels are a love/hate thing really. Personally I think black wheels would look fantastic on your Ian, but its really down to you. Whereas the bumpers are a no-brainer!

Honeycombe - hmm not too sure if its worthwhile!

Love black alloys, not sure on what kind of finish tho!?
Is that Goodwood Aerodrome in the backround?

He is on the gravel car park area that is to the side of the start/finish straight at Goodwood Motor Circuit

The honeycomb was just because he wanted to challenge himself.

As for the rest I think I will go with gloss black wheels and then get the front splitter and rear valance vinyl wrapped to match.

^^^ That sounds like a plan 

I am considering a set of black RS6 reps as a set of winter wheels for mine

Seems the simplist to achieve. My mate wanted to paint everything as thats what he does.

Old skool V8 5 spokes in black or dark grey.

Sounds perfect
