Anyone change the colour of my wheels?

Featured Replies

Wonder if anyone could take a 5 mins to either change the colour of my wheels AND mirror covers (making both the same colour) or tell me how to do it myself? I have PS Elements 10.

Ideally change the wheels + mirrors in Focus RS Green or Focus ST Orange please?

Thanks in advance!

heres a thought,

i think they would look really good in white

That's a really hard picture to get the wheels on IMO (or least, it is for me with a broken laptop mouse and no left click button!). Mirror was easy though!

Here's green anyway:

Thanks TigerFish, appreciate your efforts but that has decided me against green or orange!

I think orange would look ace tbh! :yes:

Agreed :thumbup:

Especially with a nice set of Audi S3 discs and calipers beneath them B)

I had a quick go... my favourite is white wheels/green mirrors combo. :D

Thanks SkodaLover! I see what you mean about the white wheels, but I had white wheels on a previous Subaru and they were a nightmare to keep clean.

What I REALLY like from the pics you posted is the red. Wondering if it would look good with red wheels, red mirror covers and red front upper grille surround done too?

In the words of the Moneysupermarket.com ad.......

"Radical oobster, totally rad"

Be very afraid of going too far outside the box - I've been there, done that, and got the t-shirt

Then I had to take the t- shirt back for a refund

Problem solved.

Doesn't work for me, reminds me of a Rover 200 LE.

Yup, definite NO on the grille for me too!

Thanks for doing that for me though, appreciate it. Still think the red mirrors and the red wheels, but not a brilliant Ferrari red, I am thinking more of a blood red, maybe even a matt or semi-gloss finish.

White wheels and mirrors would look good IMO

Red and green can be very, very bad, as we know

Just a little free heads up here Bry.... Gold can also be a pretty bad colour :D

In your opinion :p

It looks fine as it is

PLEASE!!! Dont spoil it

Radical :)

In terms of being "different" all of these are going to make your car stand out, which if that's what your aiming for, then that is what you'll achieve! IIRC you suggested I'd been smoking something when I PS'd some red rims on to mine a few months ago?! :hehe:

If it were my car, then I'd go for the black wheels and gloss black mirror caps..

.. but if you really want a colour on there, i'd personally go with a red that closely matches the red of the rear lamps - that way you only have white, red and black on the car.

The 996 GT3-RS nailed this look pretty well i think:

02p etc - looking forward to see what you do next.

Nice!

Not going to make a decision until late March or April, the bodyshop I use could do the wheels within a couple of weeks so there is no rush, I want to wait until the better weather comes in.

I've not been completely happy with the colour of my VMR's since I got them, so I will either go for red or get them done in the same dark metallic anthracite I got my standard 18's done in.

Have you considered a dark metallic bronze, like the TSW Nurburgrings, that would look very classy

Sorry, they don't do Skoda on the TSW configurator

I think Matt black grille, wheels & mirror covers would contrast very well with the white. Or if you wanted a little brighter, matt black but with the mirror covere in orange or deep red. :thumbup:
