Your thoughts please

I have a silver LCR and I know this has been asked before but im umming and arring about whether to do it or not?

Re-paint the standard alloys in a Black finish?

Whats your thoughts lads and lass's

 

[jamie paton]

looks good on a silver car, check out mds's car on here, his wheels are sportecs i think but it'll give you an idea how it looks

 

[richybigman]

Should look good

Total black? maybe Charcoal?

 

[karlosR]

i has been done before. there is a silver LCR in the for sale section on dark wheels if you need to see what it'll look like.

 

[ChrisUK]

Black wheels with a chrome edge always look better than all black.

How much to paint the wheels ?

 

[Phil K]

I prefer a dark grey over black tbh

 

[phoenix]

thinking maybe a charoal matte finish, or matte black haven't decided yet!

 

[phoenix]

also does anyone know if you can by a badgeless front grill for the LCR?

 

[james_tiger_woo]

You can buy a badgeless grill - look on eBay, but I'm not keen on how they look...

And how's about a gunmetal grey for your wheels?

For LCR?

 

[phoenix]

yeah gunmetal is another option, is it a difficult job to do?

They appear to be about £20 more expensive than they were about 2 months ago, but you get the idea:

I contacted one of these sellers a while back and just for the top centre badge, he quoted me £30 odd - which is about £10 more than a badged grill at the dealer (Having had to replace one following a bird strike I'm aware of the costs)

cheers for the link mate , not sure if it looks better or worse thought tbh

 

[richybigman]

Spray the S badge black, i've seen a few done and it looks smart.

 

[phoenix]

i'll give that one a go I think, after all I still want scooby drivers to know its a SEAT pushing them along hahahaha

 

[james_tiger_woo]

I thought about it, but I've decided it makes the car's nose a bit bland.

I'll get the fabia wiper instead - Once I make it down to my local friendly Skoda dealer that is

 

[richybigman]

Is your car Silver or Platinum? Reason i ask is i have a photoshop of my Platinum LCR with shadow chrome type effect wheels.

 

[Havok316]

[phoenix]
