Black and White case

Hi,

I've just uploaded this snap: http://www.caymanclub.net/gallery/sh...hp?i=10126&c=3

Sorry about the quality; the car's dirty and it was getting dark. I've just had the wheels powder coated in black. I'm very pleased with the results - they really pick up the black trim around the mirrors, under the front spolier, and infront of the rear wheels. I've noticed that it's turning heads too!

However, I'm not sure about the silver-coloured centre caps. I've had a quick scan of the usual UK vendors but none have crested black centres. Does anyone know of a vendor, or do I need to paint some up myself?

SS7, your wheels look excellent but I would definately go with the Boothe Design black centres. Have you thought about adding to the black/white theme with black spars?

It would be a small but select gathering; I've seen one recently (Egham/M25 junction), and my wife spotted one on the A3 in Jan. There are a couple of UK ones here, but just about every other one I see on the road is grey, black, dark grey, light black, silver, dark silver etc. etc.

You are not wrong: US$90 each, and then they only look to fit a Fuchs wheels.

I'll be off to Halfrauds at lunchtime for a can of gloss black then!

Does anybody else with a white car suffer from the 2 tone effect where the bumbers area slightly darker or creamier colour? My dealer says it is apparent on many cars but Porsche say it isn't a problem.

Yes, I've noticed in certain light conditions the rear bumper in particular can look a creamy colour. It doesn't bother me though....

Nor me, although the way the anti-chip film in front of the rear wheel has yellowed is dissappointing. And my car doesn't often get left outside either.

Thanks, it's good to know I'm not alone. I don't think it is worth pursuing as the cure could be worse than the problem.
