Dark Line & wheel spacers

lesfinnie · 02-07-2010, 12:15 PM

Dark lines fiitted today and had new rear tyres fitted on Friday 265/30x19 along with 12mm spacers. I think it helps the look of the car

Looks great, wheels look better with the spacers. Just need to lose the chrome now IMO - would look better with the black window surrounds.

Agree. Been wanting to get mine done for ages. It's too expensive to justify the cost on though. If you find a way let me know...

I agree, I bought some tins of "Plastidip" to spray them thinking they were aerosal tins but they are not

Can't you get them wrapped in vinyl? Pretty sure that would be the cheapest way.

Personally I think the chrome trim goes well with your wheels as it is. Each to there own I guess

That is why I am undecided, I look at it one day and the chrome looks good with the wheels then I look at the black surrounding the windows then think it might look good if it was all black

MEGA · 02-08-2010, 02:44 AM

Blacklines!

Ps similar stance as mine now

Good job.

BGM · 02-08-2010, 04:51 AM

excuse my ignorance, what effect do spacers have and what are black lines?

giotecno · 02-08-2010, 05:19 AM

Spacers make the wheels stick out more, hence improving the stance and look of the car, Blacklines are the rear lights in the blackline sport trim, they look more smoky and have black outlines

rsmallwo · 02-08-2010, 05:26 AM

you can vinylwrap the chromeline to make it black:
