Black or Gun Gtrey was what I was thinking as well.

Suspension is next. I have a box in the garage collecting parts. Got new Tein Pillowball top mounts, new drop links and a full set of polybushes so far. The plan is to totally strip the suspension, get it all blasted, paint it all and reassemble with the above bits as well as balljoints, shocks and springs - lowered of course

Car is looking lovely dude! I'd have the wheels done in bronze or a gunmetal grey/anthracite. White cars with black wheels is too common I think

White cars with black wheels is too common I think

Better than everyother car with any color body and boring silver wheels.
Matt black wheels all the way.

The car is looking good! Im glad to hear of the impending suspension work, its screaming out to be lowered

[Deanorth]

Really nice what you did with your car!
For once, I indeed find the silver wheels too common, basic, your car really shine, and it kinda look unfair to the white and black look to have the wheel in silver.
You don't have a lot of choices, color wise, I guess... Aye, black is really common (although here, we have just one prelude like that ^^) but as Ratty said, mayble playing on how that black is done would be a great solution.

Bit of an update for you all......

With work and stuff I have been flat out the last few weeks (Hence my lack of attendance here!) but managed to get a few jobs done that were bugging me.

Firstly cleaned up the engine bay. Stripped pretty much everything out both sides of the engine to respray the sides. Not done the back wall yet but that will come later. Much swearing and masking later it was done.

Some relooming and painting of bits, bit more polishing and some carbon fibre trickery and we have what you see below.





Also got the first wheel stripped and painted. You can't see it in the picture very well but the inside of the wheel is polished. Outer face is painted in a colour I mixed myself so not sure what you would call it!!



That's all for today!
