Wheels (colour change)
How do you reckon a black 480 would look like with Pollux black painted (glossy) wheels?
A bit too much black?
Or nice?
Cheers

It's a 'marmite' look for definate.
I think it looks ok, but not if you know what i mean. Lowered 40mm with the front spoiler and tinted windows and you could pass it off-like a lot of thought has gone into the descision, but as it is, it looks un-finished.
Potentially a good idea...i like black rims. Any further plans for it??

I agree with you in every point mate!Dan the 480 Man wrote:It's a 'marmite' look for definate.

I need to get the spoiler (hope i can get one from lee), need to lower it (already searching for springs...anyone?! ) and tinted windows I wanted but have to wait (here, the MOT fails the car with tinted windows...).
Thanks for the comments guys
BTW, when I finished taking the pics, went into the car, turned the ignition and.....OH F*CK! NO BATTERY! VOLVERINE DID IT AGAIN!
And then you know the story..pushed the car as fast as I could...2nd gear, and voilá. But it pissed me off big time!
