The coating is starting to come off my alloys (they were sprayed dark grey instead of white/cream) and I'm not sure where or how much this would be to rectify.
On the other hand, what do you think of these on my Blue GTI 180?
www.halfords.com/webap...yId_165649 hover over the alloy on the page to view in HD detail
Honest opinions please, I know it's my car but I would like to seek other's views. Would they look pretty slick, or not as good as the standard alloys? (not taking price into consideration - just simply the looks)

They look okay,dunno about type of blue you have whether its aegeon blue or lighter blue. Either way i think they would look good in blue. But if you have GTI180 you might have the vortex alloys correct? If so wouldn't it be nicer to refurbish them and paint them black or something like most people have?
Either way i think vortex are a lot nicer than those but its your car dude,do what you think suits your eyes your the one be driving it. =)

True, but I don't know where I would go to get them refurbished? Anyone know anywhere in Manchester.
My car is attached, would they look better the colour they are, or in black?[img]  [/img]

A shiny grey would look ace kinda like these, i know they are golf GTI alloys, but the colour would look good with the paintwork of your car.
