Matt Anthracite for me as well. Go for a black base, with a layer of silver over the top. That's what I had on the VXR
jp6 well small update for the cabby. got the wheels back from my mate who gave them a back to metal refurb. she has had the coilovers fitted on full drop with the rear adjusters removed and replaced the foggy headlights for some nice shiny 2nd hand units that were for sale local for 20 quid. next plan is some mud flaps and a exhaust as its a bit crusty.
Dave_Gilbert what colour did you go with? n how much does your mate charge for wheel refurb? i need to get mine done
jp6 its rover amethyst. wheels didnt cost me anything to refurb as i pulled a engine out of a car for him. took me 2 hours to do. i just had to but paint which cost me 30 quid 🙂

jp6 no you miss understand. it took me 2 hours to get the engine out. the lad that did my wheels has spent a good 7-8 hours on these lol. had to get them blasted as previous owners of these wheel had painted these to hell and was rather thick in paint. on the plus side tho when i got the tyres re-fitted i did notice there is very little balance weights needed so are all nice and straight 🙂

Dave_Gilbert they look propper nice, great colour choice with the car colour, they go together like peas and carrots hahahaha, (y)(y)
jp6 yeh she looking sweet now. as is normal with cars tho you get it spot on and something brakes, the roof no longer works. tried to reset it manualy with no joy. the fuse is ok and i carnt find any broken wires anywere. there is no beeping so im starting to think that the ecu could be shot. any1 else got any ideas?
jp6 so a little update on the mrs cabby. i can not get the roof to work. starting to think the ecu is at fault. on a plus note she got these headlights at a good price and also came with 2x hid kits and a different grill. so got these fitted today and put a pair of hids into the fogs for her.
jp6 hi all. had the car at the stealers today for diag work. they saying its the roof ecu is at fault and they will gladly replace it for £700 plus vat... jog the f'##k on luv lol. anyone know if ecu is repairable or 2nd hand units fit?
