Default pic request and ???

Anyone got a black car with black wheels? Ive got the coventry wheels coming black with polished lip. Im going to paint my calipers when I swap em. Im just wondering if I should go red or black. My car is the sport all back with tinted windows.

Nice car.

Black - unless you have Brembos or something it isn't worth drawing undue attention to single piston OE calipers.

To complete the insanely popular murdered-out look, I think you should darken your lights also.

If you do use niteshades I recommend a few coats of clear coat as well.

My calipers are red and it doesn't look horrible. I've got a black car and will soon have black 18s

Personally, I'd go red as it would provide a balancing contrast to all black, which in turn highlights the red rear side lights and to a lesser extent the amber fronts.

It all comes down to what you like, its your ride, you choose the look that suits you.

I'm in camp red. Pic of mine attached as well as here: http://bit.ly/AxDydr

When done right... It looks sick.



Also- I really like your rims. I was thinking of murdering mine but I think I'm sticking with silver. If I did go black, my model look would be Jaaag's official "Black Pack" rather than just winging it and ending up looking like a ricer. Just my opinion.

This is where I got mine:

Audi, RS2 items in SupergraphicsF1 store on eBay!

But- they don't carry the ones that fit the x type anymore. I've emailed them to ask if I can still get them (I'm redoing my rear ones) and I'll let you know what they say.

That's the only place I've seen them

Exclamation Update

I received these:

Jaguar Brake Caliper Decals Stickers WHITE: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike

They're too big.

I've again emailed the store I ordered from last time and I'm waiting for a reply.

Thumbs up Update

I finally got in touch with the guy who sold me my ones (I believe he was away).

Anyway! This are the ones on my car:
