Black Orions question

[paulw2427]

Hi all

I own a K! in Candy white and I am currently runnunig on standard Orion Wheels. I'm having them done this week to Black, just wondering if you could confirm whether they are:

• Gloss
• Satin
• Or Matt

I,m pretty sure they are gloss but just checking. I've ordered the black centre caps for the wheels and I was amazed at their price, £15 each nearly passed out.

Any one have any decent pics of their alloys??

Have a nice weekend

Yep Gloss

Thanks Kevo!!

Any ideas what I should do with the whell bolts? Ive noticed that they are silver on the standard Orions and Black/Grey on the Black, any thoughts to this????

 

[InfernalBadger]

Paint them?

I've got silver centre caps on mine i think (they were painted by the dealer I think). Don't really notice though as they're so dirty, lol

How do you find the black orions? better than the silver?

The black wheels have black plastic bolt caps. You can get them off Ebay. I recently bought a set as i noticed some of mine have gone missing.

How much were they mate? Are they just standard bolt caps or are they specific to leon?. You dont have a link for them do you

I've PM'd you with the details mate. Its against forum rules to post Ebay links.

I don't think I'd have a Cupra with the silver wheels. The black ones just complete the car imo.

I have black wheels on my white K1 and its the only thing i dont like about the car.

Please excuse if this has been covered before, from reading this am I correct in thinking you can have your silver wheels painted black, and you can get this done at your main dealer?

Not sure dealers will do it for you, but you can get them painted or powder coated by specialist wheel re-furbishers. Never had it done myself but I seem to recall the powder coating is more durable.

When I had my 18'' FR wheels powder coated black I brought a set of 4 x S badges off Ebay and then got individual wheel nut covers from Seremotors including a anti-theft one for each wheel. Will post a picture tomorrow

Thanks for the advice.

Mine are Matt Black with individual black caps from ebay and a anti-theft cap on each wheel. The centre caps were £7.95 for 4 from Ebay and basically stick far enough over the hole to bond well. They are never coming off!!!
