#1: Just picked up my vortex's from city powdercoaters Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 12:22 pm ---- Just got home from picking them up, made them stay over to finish them as I needed them today, results are pretty good, not for the perfectionist as there's a few little marks on them, for £20 an alloy you certainly can't complain,getting the tyres fitted tomorrow after work
And an outside pic, they actually look a lot lighter in the pics as they do in the flesh

#6: Re: Just picked up my vortex's from city powdercoaters Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 12:31 pm ---- Yeah I think they'll look good in the car and when I've got some red lions in the centre
#7: Re: Just picked up my vortex's from city powdercoaters Author: SmithyXSI, Location: Newcastle-upon-TynePosted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 12:32 pm ---- £20 an alloy is pretty good isnt it! Might have to get mine re-done...

#14: Re: Just picked up my vortex's from city powdercoaters Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 12:46 pm ---- Haha oh right kingdom, they look a slightly different colour to andrewpxs nimmies that were done in anthracite at the same place, either way 1 happy customer, would recommend them to anyone local enough to use them, dropped them off Tuesday morning, collected them today, so 2 day turn-around for me

Cheers pal, yeah on my other gti I paid £40 a corner for a refurb and respray, the quality is better going down the powdercoated route in my opinion, and for £80 for all 4 alloys I felt like I was robbing them, the guy told me they were increasing the price to £30 an alloy soon, which is still dirt cheap in my opinion
#18: Re: Just picked up my vortex's from city powdercoaters Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 12:54 pm ---- if it is only shot blasting and powder coating £20 per corner is normal price.
#19: Re: Just picked up my vortex's from city powdercoaters Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 12:55 pm ---- I thought it was shot blasting, dipped in acid and then powdercoated?

#37: Re: Just picked up my vortex's from city powdercoaters Author: -RAJ-, Location: COVPosted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 6:13 pm ---- looks very nice mate, i went for sparkle silver myself. kinda wish i went your colour now after seeing them
#38: Re: Just picked up my vortex's from city powdercoaters Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 11:48 pm ---- Cheers raj, I bet sparkly silver looks good though
#39: Re: Just picked up my vortex's from city powdercoaters Author: JE_180, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 1:54 am ---- I was expecting the colour to be a bit darker but I like them Would look good on mine haha
#40: Re: Just picked up my vortex's from city powdercoaters Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 2:22 am ---- They look lighter in the pics than they actually are pal, I'll have some pics up of them on the car later
#41: Re: Just picked up my vortex's from city powdercoaters Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 4:19 am ---- They look sweet mate.
#42: Re: Just picked up my vortex's from city powdercoaters Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 4:23 am ---- Good job mate.
#43: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 10:26 am ---- Got these back from city powdercoaters yesterday, just got back from getting the tyres fitted and on the car, comments welcome
Looks really really nice, cant wai to see it in the flesh
Do the tyres have a bit of stretch on them or is that just the pic?
#47: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 10:42 am ---- looks nice mate.... lowering should be next on your too do's
I think it would look even better lower and with gloss black lions on the wheels
#49: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 10:44 am ---- Gloss red lions are going on the wheels lol, and lowering is on the todo list kingdom, and no stretch mate must just be the pic
#50: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: Jordan_xsi, Location: IpswichPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 10:50 am ---- I still think gloss black lions would look better, i dont think there is enough red for it to work and with a colour like red its hard to get a good balance without it being over the top. The calipers would look good painted too
#51: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 10:51 am ---- The calipers are getting done next pal, still got some red paint left from when I did my silver gti
#52: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: Matt, Posted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 10:55 am ---- im not keen.
its too similar to the black imo.
a nice deep red or purple would have been nice.
#53: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:00 am ---- Cheers Matt I appreciate your honesty, and just for you Jordan I had 2 lions already painted black so just sprayed them with lacquer
#55: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:07 am ---- Take the disc shields off the back, give them a good sanding and paint them silver.
#56: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:08 am ---- Disc shields? Do u think that would make much difference?
gotta get mine re-done at some point but really cant decide weather to leave them silver or have a change of colour
#58: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:41 am ---- The purple would have been sweet, but they look good.
gotta get mine re-done at some point but really cant decide weather to leave them silver or have a change of colour
Get a different colour pal
#60: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:50 am ---- Cheers daba
#61: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:54 am ---- I reckon some SP arches would finish your car off nicely.
Kind of agree, I think colour matched to the black of the car would have looked better. Cause it's very dark like black yet not quite the same as the paint so tiny bit mis matched to me.
Still does look good though just think it would have been better completely different colour wise or the same.
#63: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: kieron, Location: in the housePosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 12:02 pm ---- looks nice mate reminds me of my old 180..... oh why did i get rid of it???
#64: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 12:18 pm ---- They look really good mate like a I said in YOUR OTHER THREAD, the pictures with tem fitted could of gone in that one as well
gotta get mine re-done at some point but really cant decide weather to leave them silver or have a change of colour
Get a different colour pal
thinking of getting them colour matched to the bodywork but unsure if that will be too much might get a 2nd set and have a go see what they look like
#66: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 12:52 pm ---- Looking good, Just put my tempest's on but waiting until I get some new badge's from Pug tomorrow to show them off
#67: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: broadblaster, Location: south coastPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 1:32 pm ---- looking v nice but then i would say that as i got the same colour on mine lol lol
mine maybe a little darker not sure
#68: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 2:36 pm ---- Too black for me too mate.
#69: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 2:54 pm ---- Sorry mikey
And thanks for the comments guys good or bad
#70: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 2:58 pm ---- Yeaa i'm thinking too much blackness too
#72: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: Swardy, Location: CambridgePosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 5:22 pm ---- After seeing them tonight I can say they look better in the flesh than in the photos. I personally don't think there's too much black, but even so that will be fixed when you finish your other plans mate. The red calipers, red lions, and phase 2 rear lights will break it up nicely.
Of course if you don't like them you could always buy my nimmies off me mate? I doubt I'll clean your car for you tho!
cheers dude!
#73: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 10:10 pm ---- Cheers pal I do agree with you that they look better in the flesh, still not 100 percent on them at the min though
#74: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Sat Jul 09, 2011 2:25 pm ---- Looking good dude I think you should keep them like that
When you come down, if you want to paint your calipers red I have a tin with loads left in, we could do that if you wanted, I just done my mates today lol
#75: Re: Anthracite vortex's fitted :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sat Jul 09, 2011 2:39 pm ---- I've already got some red paint left over from when I did the calipers on my silver gti, they will be getting done in the next week or so, but thanks for the offer pal
