They're Alloygators, I am a driving instructor and those things work......lol

Fair enough if you're a driving instructor but not otherwise IMO.

Saw an R8 with some on last year. Ruined it.

You can get them in black.

Yeah this r8 had silver ones on. On silver wheels.

Stood out like a sore thumb still.

Couldnt understand it. Dont think youd do too much parallel parking in an r8. He only takes it out about twice a year

Here's my new Monte Black Edition registered Nov 14. Only had it a week so still getting used to it. First impressions are good though. 

Factory spec but planning on getting cruise control, armrest, spare wheel and LED DRLs if I can afford it!

 

 

 

 

Cars lookin great but get some paint on those rear hubs soon cause they go off really quick.

 

This was mine after a couple of years.

 

How clean is that arch

Cheers. Yeah i've heard that, its one of my first to do jobs. Also want to do the front hubs and calipers. Any advice of how to do it or what paint is best etc? Or are there guides already posted on here somewhere?

Personally smooth black hammerite on the rears and smooth silver on the front cals. Keep it nice and subtle.

 

 

 

 

+1 Smooth black hammerite on the back but red on the front, especially on the black edition imo

Unless you've got good size brakes don't paint the calipers red, it just looks tacky with tiny brake calipers glowing from behind the black wheels as they've quite an open design.

I guess you're right. I just like the contrast but I take your point, they are pretty tiny!

Definitely go for red, i've got the same black monte and everyone says how good my red brakes look lol

A Ferrari red cals yeh. On a Fabia ...just looks cheap.

Haha, cheers, quite a controversial topic. My GTI came with red calipers and they looked good, but yes they were some more serious brakes! Has anyone actually painted their calipers black?!

I agree.

Little red caliper on the milk bottle tops.

I prefer em not to stand out aha

Not too bad i dont think

Looks like you've got crab stuck behind the wheel, not my cup of tea, tiny calipers painted red.

Not too bad i dont think

 

Is that hammerite paint? Its an odd looking red.... do you work in special effects for horror films. 

No its actually congealed blood i use to dress horror scenes

 

 

The garage walls after you painted the cals. LOL
