    What colour do you think I should go?

    I'm thinking red again as i did with my mums (which now need another lick of paint ) and a nice dull silver on the hubs but i'm open to suggestions!

    BLACK. To go with your mirror caps and roof.

    Yeah, I'd go black, or maybe a dark gunmetal grey like the ceramics on the RS6?

    Well it's a toss up between Red and Black then (yellow is a no no for me)

    I agree with the Black comments (match the roof and mirrors) but I wouldn't mind them being red to make them stand out a little.

    The decision will be made when once i take the wheels off and clean them up a little!!
