    Well since the UK is just full of shitty pot holes in the roads, I overtook someone (yes, naughty me) and went through a pothole (pretty sure I saw Austraila down there) which I was unable to avoid. So now I'm getting all 4 refurbed, and they need a recoat - I'm thinking either the same as before (light silver/grey), dark grey (which I'm more for) or black (looks chavy though).

    So some Photoshop work...

    Standard:

    Dark Grey:

    Black:

    I think the second looks the best. Also don't dig the yellow, I like it, and I'm not changing that :badgrin:

    Amen to that, apart from when the council slap some tarmac in them and it is fixed for a few weeks.

    I like the black ones personally.

    here you can sue the town / government for dangerous neglect.

    on the color, I'd take the lightest one, not dark grey or black, those fall away too much vs the yellow.

    I'm really in two minds - the alloys on this are the nicest ones (imo) you can get for the car as standard.

    Black doesn't really bring them out, while the standard colour looks as if it's in two minds of being "stocky" or modified. Dark Grey / Anthracite is what I'm liking, or there is a silver option (which I added), this goes the opposite way to more of a white.

    Light grey looks awesome, I'd go for it for sure. And dark, blackish colors look kinda weird on a yellow car. Or maybe that's just me :)

    Edit: Oops not light grey, light silver :p

    You can here as well I believe, proving it is another matter though, even if his story wasnt:

    "I was speeding down the wrong side of the road and hit a pothole"

    Don't think Alias will get away with that :D

    Well I could say I was travelling the other way :p but then how it was on the top left wheel, that's another story... I'm not fussed, it was my fault so I don't feel the need to blame the government haha.

    I'm with Panromir on this one. Dark Grey looks more bad ass, and mostly it looks custom. With the other colours it just looks default, now you stand out more. Black is too dark though imo, like you said the shapes get lost.

    The advantage of dark colors is less visibility of dirt on them. But I stay with the "Silver" color.

    I think you've to be carefull here. Sure something else as the light silver or standard would look very... well standardish. The dark grey and black may look really nice and "different" but imho they make this one look a little bit like a wannabe tuned up car. In Germany we would say it looks "verbastelt". So I would go with the - and now you all can start hating me - standard color.

    I like the light silver. the others don't really blend well with the yellow color. sure it might looks more stocky, but I think it looks teh best and smooth looking. ;D
    *pink is best though.

    Yep definitely pink.
    Black is good for your chavy nights out, drag racing the local homies.

    Maybe take lesser inch on your wheels, to avoid scratching them...

    Yeah indeed, so many people have black as well. Although it does dick on most cars about :p

    My mate actually has pink paint, but it would be too hard to clean ;)
