My New wheels and spotlights

[ajamesj]

Any comments welcome Iam still uncertain about the style but it will grow on me hopefully.http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d165/AJAMESJ/IMGP0271.jpg

I was also thinking about painting my calipers red what u all think.

[Sweeney]

the wheels aren't my taste but they are stunning nonetheless :)

i wouldn't paint em red, from the looks of it they look to be painted blue??? or are they just shining in the sun?

[minidriver#1]

the wheels look good, as do the spots. Are the wheels polished or stainless steel?

[sh@z]

You need it lowered imo to finish off the look, but nice wheels.

[ajamesj]

Wheels are polished I painted the calipers blue when I put my last wheels on but they need another paint so red was going to be an option.

[Smitty]

Spots look ace, as do the rims!

As for painting the calipars red, DON'T:p, they look really good in blue!:cool:

I agree with shaz though, reckon it needs lowering a slight bit, but nothing to crazy, don't wana have the problem of the wheels rubbing on the arches!:blackeye:

[AndyP & Lenore]

Love the spots, but the wheels aren't to my taste. Look nice and shiny though, all the same.

I wouldn't paint the callipers red. Electric Blue maybe???:D:D

Have you seen the video also:question:;):D:eek::blackeye:

LOL:D

[X30YES]

The colour of the car and spots are fantastic ...stunning looking car :approve:

[Gismo]

Looks ok to me, but, defo not red calipers, stick with a fresh coating of blue :cool:

[minidriver#1]

Also because the rims are polished lips, make sure you keep em clean and coated in wax otherwise they'll corrode.

[euan]

Love the spots, and keep the calipers blue!

Can't help wondering what it would look like with painted arches and aero side skirts though...

[Crombers]

Me no a fan of painted calipers , isn't that best left to the Corsa , Saxo guys & gals. Nice aftermarket alloys :approve:

[Wul]

lovely job - don't listen to crombers - he's after a set of brake drums fitted to his Cooper - Never-locking-brakes!! :p

[Big Col]

Like that mate. Don't do the calipers though. Would look silly red on a blue car.

:eek::dead:

[Mon the fish]

Aye, I'll second that. My leccy blue S has the JCW brakes on it, the red callipers look magic :cool:

[ajamesj]

Any pics of ur car with the red calipers

[claire]

i'm loving your car, looks fab. i've just put 2 more spots on my mini too, looks cool! :cool:

i think you should paint the calipers, blue is cool, yellow would be nice i think, but red would be smart too...if you fancy the idea of red just go for it (you can always change the colour later if you change your mind) plus it'll let me see what it looks like (was gonna paint mine red too, hehe;))

[Mon the fish]

I don't have pics to hand, I'll see what I can do. Come on the Oxford trip and see them for yourself!

[gill]

We like .... :D:cool::D:cool:

[Mon the fish]

Here's a crap one I took earlier, shadows in the way but you get the idea...

[Sweeney]

with the jcw brakes do they have the rear calipers in red too or is it only new calipers on the front?

[Sheilz]

The car looks lovely. Did I by any chance pass it in the Montrose area last weekend? Cant remember exactly where but I did flash and got a wave back.

[ajamesj]

I think it may have been me u flashed at I waved back to a Mini just heading out of Arbroath on way to Montrose last Saturday night. Still thinking about these calipers will decide next week over a few pints while on holiday.

[Mon the fish]

Just the front callipers in red unfortuneately, the rear callipers aren't changed, just the pads.

Prob did pass me in that area last weekend, went cross-country to Aberdeen. Good to get a wave back, few and far between these days :(
