As I was doing a little clean up today I was looking at my Nevis 20" wheels . I was just thinking out loud if it would be to much if I were to paint the JAGUAR SUPERCHARGED lettering in the wheel in red. Has anyone done this and if so how does it look. I already have the center caps in red so I was wondering if this would be a little overkill. What are the opinions here?

 

One way to find out is take the wheel off and get some red face paint, paint over the letters, might take 2 coats, don't worry about it going over the edges. when it dries get a dry cloth and clean the excess on the top, it will rub off and leave the lettering red behind it, then put the wheel back on a compare or take a pic. The paint will wash off with water after. I think it would look nice.

 

You might also want to see how it looks on the embossed "supercharged" hood (bonnet) vent letters, temporarily, as suggested by Powerhouse. I think both are in good taste and would look like what the factory would have done.

Your car, your decision. Tastes vary. I had my engine appearance cover hydrographic coated in carbon fiber with the "supercharged" letters painted red to match the oil filler cap lettering. Lots of positive comments.

 

Yes, if you were going to do that you'd contrast in black or silver, I suppose. Or get the Mina cf vents which contrast nicely, mine came with the "supercharged" in red, and they supplied another "supercharged" sticker set in silver, which was very nice of them.

Subtle is good.

 

Hey! Get some neon green racing stripes and put two striped down each side and one down the middle, bonnet to boot!

 

Overkill, and not the Motorhead song.

 

Less is more......? Added the "Jaguar" script to the center cap.
