ScoobySounds Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Hi all, I'm getting my wheels refurbed next week, I've already ordered anthracite powder coating but am now having second thoughts, I think I prefer lighter, even white maybe! white makes it look more toy like, where anthracite is more bad boy. its definately a toy, and I'm no bad boy. what suits this car better? these are from http://www.rarerims.co.uk/virtual/ now; anthracite white black its quite a good website for those with no photoshop skills, I definately know what the car WONT suit haha; Any thoughts welcome, Chris.

ScoobySounds Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 i think you are both right, one minute to the next! ok, 1-1 Link to comment
gc8-r Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 white is the way to go...... they suit any scoob Link to comment
ScoobySounds Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 I prefer the silver myself... ha! aye - screw all these decisions! I'd definately be saving maself some much needed cash.. I always liked the silver, but need some pretty serious repair done on one of them so fancy a bit of a change while i'm at it! Link to comment
gc8-r Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 have you got big rats there.....? somethings been chewing them,shame as there the best wheels for any scoob!!! Link to comment
scouk Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I always liked the silver, but need some pretty serious repair done on one of them so fancy a bit of a change while i'm at it! Yeouch! that's some nasty damage! Link to comment
Maxxed_Ross Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) I'd say white... but I don't think any of them really match the door graphic. Doing that in white with the white wheels would look well cool IMO Edited April 4, 2009 by Maxxed_Ross Link to comment
ScoobySounds Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 at the time I couldn't believe the damage - but that was actually caused at about 5mph (seriously), black ice right into a kerb. It was such a cllunk it felt like the wheel had buckled under. but turned out all geometry was fine! I'm only getting round to getting it fixed now cos i've got a slow puncture developed that isn't the tyre or the seal - so I suspect air is coming in the kerbed rim. Link to comment

Doing that in white with the white wheels would look well cool IMO cheers mate! the yellow bits are a bit of a theme, I'm getting a different side decal shortly too.. I don't know what yet, but for sure it will be yellow! Link to comment

gc8-r Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 got to say one v--nice looking scoob but............................! would look better with some writing, not block colour down the side and i do like the yellow(1 off colour)but some sort of writing. to break it up would set that car off like no other sorry if you think im wrong,but something like the rc motorsport sticker would work Link to comment
sti_steve Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I was infront of you on Leith walk today Bloody traffic is a joke around the omni just now, infact most of Edinburgh If it was me then I would stick to Silver as I was looking at the pics and nothing looked as nice as the silver IMO.

Spaceman Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 how bought 2 wheels white and 2 anthracite so one side is white and one anthracite would be cool like Link to comment
thewelsho Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 cheers John!!! - so there are SOME classics you like hehe. Oh yes. The later ones with exterior cosmetic mods... cool! I'd go as far as to say your car is nicer than a lot of Newages! These voices in my head making me say these things..!! Link to comment

The guy has a vinyl cutter so I suppose he could do any design he wants..! I was infront of you on Leith walk today Bloody traffic is a joke around the omni just now, infact most of Edinburgh If it was me then I would stick to Silver as I was looking at the pics and nothing looked as nice as the silver IMO. Ah! I gave you a flash just as I turned off the walk, wasn't sure if you saw me. Nice sti mate, very clean! Link to comment
ScoobySounds Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 how bought 2 wheels white and 2 anthracite so one side is white and one anthracite would be cool like Ha. I can jsut see the look on the guys face when I asked for that! I'd go as far as to say your car is nicer than a lot of Newages! These voices in my head making me say these things..!! I won't tell anyone you said that. Link to comment
stubaroo Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Love the car by the way. The yellow is unique and I like it. What about these bad boys.... Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2S I know you are refurbing the wheels you have and from your photos I prefer the silver with the anthracite in 2nd place. Once you get the wheels done mayby go for centre caps with a touch of yellow in them or new yellow wheel nuts or maybe paint your caliper yellow with black letters............if its kept quite subtile it will remain a beautiful car indeed.

ScoobySounds Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 I'm thinking white.. but i'm sure that'll be different tomorrow. I want to feel like i've spent my money doing something I've had silver for ages Link to comment

It might get silly and start looking more like grants! I've already got a bit of yellow on the calipers, i love these things; behold! Link to comment
stubaroo Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 A ha.....never noticed that Looks spot on. And yes you have the balance just right. Link to comment
