new idea

[pip_polo]

i don't know if its been done to a 9n (probly has somewhere)

but i'm toying with the idea of getting my roof, wing mirrors, tints (light tints) and my alloys done black.

what people think?

photoshop?

i know it's going agains what i've been trying to do (get a nice all silver car lol) but i'm liking the idea

edit: heres a quich chop of what it ould look like

[chewy]

Think it will look great, I am sure someone in the MKVII section has done somethin like that

[pip_polo]

will have to look lol

i'm currently doing a p'chop of it now

[Tim_GTi]

Black it! It's a little too silver at the moment IMO

[pip_polo]

i'm going to do it after inters and get it sorted for ed38 if i do it!!

[pip_polo]

can i just add, if you vote can you say which you voted for, just so i know

[Tim_GTi]

you had any quotes for it yet?

[pip_polo]

only though about it today on way to work

i think i might get the vynle (sp?) or what ever it is (what the do signs on vans n that with) on first.

then if i like it i'll get it sprayed when i can afford it, if i dont i can take it off.

my alloys need a refurb, but i'm also wondering if 17" transporter alloys will fit

[Tim_GTi]

I voted for black it

[Tim_GTi]

Well, one of the mark7 boys just got a uote of £260+vat for a vinyl roof. I dunno about you, but I wouldn't want to just remove that if I didnt fancy it!

If thats an average quote, then just get it sprayed, it'll be cheaper.

I reckon You could get the lot done for under £500

[pip_polo]

i though it would cost about 100 max for the roof to be covered

maybe out of the question then LOL

[Tim_GTi]

£100-200 for the roof, £200-250 for the wheels, and whatever for the mirrors - £30?

[pip_polo]

i'd do the wheels and mirrors myself.
i'd get new mirror cases as then i could swap back.

what would worrk best you think.. gloss black or matt?

i recon gloss.

[Tim_GTi]

Definitely gloss. Mirrors would cheaper to get sprayed.

The black mirrors are black matt plastic, so they'd need spraying anyway to match the gloss black roof. Shouldn't cost more than £30 to get them sprayed.
