Dark looking Supra with Pink Wheels

Yes it is indeed, I bought it from a member on here, the laquer has peeled and bubbled quite a bit on the top of the blade so it was well priced, still plan to wet lay carbon wrap the blade again to get it back to looking good. So if I did the wing tips and did not like it, can I always put it back to CF in a few days.

Well as I said some might like it most will prob not, As I said just something different, ok I know there is a lot of people that prefer the standard looking Supra over kitting them etc etc, but IMHO standard looking Supra look kinda boring and not as aggressive looking. Yes the wheels are different and rather bright but that was the idea, as I think I have said numerous times on here I modified my car for me not anyone else. Homer that cool everyone is entitled to their opinion :)

 

Does anyone have and issue with this car..??

Rather bright in colour as well, but I like the concept of the semi race look, just orange, green or yellow just would not have gone with the rest of the car.

 

I totally get what your saying mate, one person will see your supra and put their nose up at it, then see that porsche and give it the world of comments...wierd...i think your supra looks great and youve really hit the spot for the drift look imo, im going satin black (EIW! lol) and want to paint my 3 spoke advans green, think id be along the same lines as your style, the colour combo you have works well, anywho i like it and did you paint the rims yourself?

Yes painted them myself, was only a quick job to see how the colour looked and if I liked it or not. Cost me like £50 in paint from Halfords lol to do all four wheels. Now thinking of having them done by a pro in powder coat. Neon paints are very hard to use and they require a lot of white primer to get the top colour to really pop, downside is they fade quite easily, even powder coat fades fast as I have been told :(

Ive seen audi java green, i like that colour for my rims, im not to keen on using normal car paint on the whole rims to the lips, becuase my main problem will be, when i have my tyres changed they will just get scraped, so im refurbing my polished lip, doing the main rim in green with the centre cap, going to use normal paint in cans, primer, base and clear...loving that idea:D didnt notice yours was a neon paint

I like that too. I was looking at my rather tired lookingxwheels yesterday and wondering what I could do to spruce them up, I'm definatly sending them to a wheel refurbers once the Afr boys have given mine the mother of all services, I think silver centre with a coloured lip would look cool....

I would be keen on a photoshop to see the mirrors etc. colour coded with the wheels. Doesn't look half bad, not my cup of tea personally but I wouldn't sneer at it just think 'someone has got the balls to try it out'

 

Keep us updated James
