Hello
as some of you are aware i am slowly refurbing my Polo GTi BBS Splits, they are going good but soon i will be sending the centres off somewhere to be powder coated (no idea where tho yet so help on that would be good too) but im after some pics of different ones that have been done in different colours or even just the standard silver just so i can see what kind of effect i can be looking towards and also to give me some idea on what colour to have them done in
cheers Guys, any pics much appreciated

nobody has ever done the centers polished like the outer rims, could be pretty sexy, but would only look good on a certain colur i think, black or summin!

Didn't look too bad actually, was nice to see something different to be honest.
I wouldn't mind a full diamone cut finish.
