Looks like I might be swapping the wheels for some genuine Monza II's however they need a refurb.  They guy has said he will get them powdercoated in any colour I want which I like the idea off as I cant be bothered with the whiteworm of the originals.  Silver is ok but I was thinking more of a titanium silver / anthracite colour or even satin black.  Not normally a fan of black wheels unless its a black car.  Ive looked at loads of photos of different colours but there are very few if any in blue let alone this blue. 

My favourite at the moment is this colour, what do you think? This or satin black or maybe a smoked chrome type finish?  Hoping to get some Eibach springs and a Rieger or VWR front splitter as well to go with them.

I can't take the credit for the colour choice though as that must go to 'Tonygti' who i bought them off , really like the anthracite! :happy2:

I think RedRobins coloured monza 2's would work well on shadow blue.
As for wheels on shadow blue i posted quite a few on the colour section of the forum and theres is also a link in the mk5/6 thread  to many mk6's in shadow blue with different wheels you may want to look at for colour ideas.

That's looking hot Steve! Great job fella  :congrats:
I love those springs myself. The ride over speed bumps is very comfortable with just the right arch gap for me  :smiley:

Edit - Sorry Coullstar, just re-realised it's your thread  :laugh:
Steve influenced me in lowering my first car with his great results so I hope you don't mind the divided loyalty on the thread :happy2:

My Rieger splitter came in ABS black plastic, i havent painted it just give it a good coat of polish everytime i wash it.
