I really like the look you've done a good job on the calipers how long did it take. I am thinking of going with Black Wheels on my ZS not sure if they will go with Trophy Blue ?? was debating on gold but decided against when it all started kicking off about a wannabe Subaru ??

Hi mate,

The calipers were very easy to do .

Followed the how to guide and got the paint from B&Q not hard to do a few hours.

Now lowered it yet.

Will be fitting the new back box and discs and pads on Sat..........

The window tints are actually 3 colours.

Limo black on back and rear quaters.

Dark smoke on rear

Light smoke on drivers.

Works quite well.

The calipers are Metallic Red (from B&Q).

The how do guide was useful was going to use hammer rite until I read........

Looking good there. Just needs the tyre black to make it more pronounced.

With those looks I sometimes wonder if the good old tyre whitener will make a comeback................lettering etc.

So you decided to go with the white wheels after all.There gonna look sweet smokey.

Wheels look nice zs180v6.:thumbsup:Definately needs lowering.What size did you go for?Did you stick with the 17".With a lower profile tyre the gap between tyre and arch just seems to increase massively.

Golden rule for when highlighting the lettering on your tyres in white - only bother to do it on Dunlops or Michelins , otherwise it makes you look like a right daft numpty ! Having a snarling V8 up front helps with the effect too ! ;)
