Our Black Leon thread is becoming hijacked with rear diffusers! :lol:
Edit: Ok, it wasn't that funny!


So whats others views on the best Colour Alloys for Black Leons?

I think titanium silver would look good! But also most colors will go well, anyone got white wheels?

Jay - thankyou for your feedback. :)

My 18's once they get a coating of dust have a darker gunmetal grey colour.
It actually looks a nice contrast against the Black car. Tempted to get them powdercoated in a gunmetal colour in the future !?!?!?

Regarding the Vinyl, how about Red over the roof of the car, in contrast to the Black ?
Not forgetting the top of the tailgate / spoiler too.

But who might be first to pull off this new look ? :)

I don't know about red but maybe white stripes? thin ones following the edges and the curve in the bonnet?
I really don't know what to do next???
What's your plans?

The stripe sounds interesting. For some reason I always see Red as being a nicer contrast and going better with a Black car than White on a Black car (although perhaps more striking).

Saying that, personally, I am not a fan of stripes on cars - going back to the old cliché, just another variation of the old Viper stripes. Each to their own though.....

Regards to mine....

I will be putting Sportline springs on within the next few weeks. Already DE-Wipered the rear.
Also have a set of HEKO Wind Deflectors on order, so those will be fitted too, some time soon.

As mentioned, plan to get the Alloys re-sprayed at some point, possibly in some gunmetal colour.
Have also considered getting the FRONT side windows tinted a similar colour to the factory rears ??

All quite subtle styling Mods. Want it to look stealthy with class, rather than ruining it and going OTT.

Regarding performance - Dont want to play with the engine to that extent, would like a Custom Code remap, just to give the car that extra BOOOOST ! :D

I'm not sure what % light the tints rears let in, most police forces are clamping down on window tints cause it's a nice little money maker and easily tested on the spot. So best making sure the front comply.

Looking forward to seeing your car with wind deflectors, I hate the noise when having them open so this is yet another potential mod.
