but nowhere near as drastic as my old car *wink*


got kind of inspired the other day looking at pics of my car a few years back with black wheels so decided to get the paint out cos i've still got a few tins of matt black in the garage. done the wheels, grille and back bumper. next on the list is some black wipers, black mirrors and not sure about the handles yet though.


gone from this:


to this :)


what do you lot reckon? i'm still undecided..

Looks good imo. Think a badge or decal for the middle of grill though might look good.
Car looks mint btw

I think you just destroyed a nice grill. All chrome clubbies looks class, that looks shite.

i still can't make me mind up about it, its definately growing on me though.

at the end of the day it only needs a bit of nitromors on the grille again and its back to normal *wink*

I think it rocks! Never been a fan of the Weller wheels, but they look good in flat black.

Like the black grill but wellers should be white,or at least a light colour to show the spokes.

I feel the opposite to this. I love the black wheels, but the chrome should stay.

looks tougher in black, stick with it. Black the handles, wipers and filler cap and it will look spot on.

The beauty is in the eye of the beholder, thats what I always say when people slag off clubbies,

I had a full chrome grill, but have gone back to the original black and chrome as this matches my ally cats.

Love the tilted bonnet, always wanted to do that....

I think the car looks well low and mean 8)
