Such as, bumpers, side mirrors, door handles, boot lip, insert grill... how about the rims now? Can anyone please photoshop my rims black please? And also tinted a bit the rear windows please! Thanks a lot. Here's the car. This one was already photoshoped by Lewis, and I really like how it is slammed, that's why I'm working on it.. Edited by matth190, Thu Jan 22, 2009 5:32 am.

Its a shame no one can take a mould of the original 16v rims and replicate them in 17". Im sure loads of us would go for them... Edited by rhysmangatmotorsport, Thu Jan 22, 2009 2:47 pm.

super idiot Posts: 3,301 Group: Members Member #3,508 Joined: November 18, 2008	Thanks Stempies, but didnt like with the centre only black. The rims are going to stay original thats for sure! About the handles we can't, cause it will not pass the VRT (Like MOT). @ "matth woz here!!"

The Hamster Posts: 2,619 Group: Moderator Member #39 Joined: November 12, 2005	^^ @ the graffiti on the garage door. I dont like wheels that dont have the outer part of the rim coloured in when they don't have a lip. Having said that though, this doesn't look too bad, but think it's because it goes with body colour: It would work really well on the Monoblock wheel because it has a slight lip to it. On your car though, i would leave them silver! Edited by -V-, Thu Jan 22, 2009 5:07 pm.
