Wink DONE THE DIY WHEEL COLOUR CHANGE

Well thought what the hell might as well give it a go and see how it turns out, And i have to say near perfect really,

On the downsid ei only managed to do the 2 alloys satin black, Atleast this way i can decide if i like this or the other way of silver,

So have a look and see what you think

Looks spot on, dark or white is the way forward on DBM cars and after trying to keep them clean I wish I'd gone dark

Thumbs up

That colour looks wicked under DBM and that's one of the nicer looking blobs I've seen. Good work. If mine wasn't Mica Black, I'd have black wheels.....

It's not a blob, it's a bug

Blobs are ugly
