I have had these wheels sitting in the garage since my son traded in his mini, and
I am going to put them on the GP (just so I can keep the originals like new:thumbs up:)
But what colour should I have them done:confused::confused:

I love these wheels actually really look nice on the car as they are. Please for heavens sake don't do the red :lol:I think a nice anthracite or even maybe a wee bit darked is the way to go.

As they are or darkened a bit.

Although, I would stick to the originals unless it is just a change for the winter.

A kind of light gun metal grey would be OK I suppose but I wouldnt change a GP at all.

I didn't want to sound like a spoil sport but I agree 100%. Not only do I like the GP wheels I also think there are certain cars you, dare i say it, do not mess about with. Some could argue that about any car, but I feel the GP is perfect as it is and needs no adjusting, but hey is your car and I am sure what ever you do will look :cool:

Can't go past Parrot kits for bluetooth Billy - I have used them now in about 5 cars and also my works van ;) The 3200 Colour is good, that was the last one I had in my car. :yes nod:

as for colour, the Anthracite or the smoked Chrome is what you want :thumbs up:

As far as I'm concerned you just don't remove GP alloys from a GP, end of :frown:

All you are doing is making the car look as if it's had a trip to Halfords

Anthracite all the way.

I understand why folk say don't take the GP wheels off, but you're doing it to preserve them...and at least the replacements aren't BLING chrome :frown:
