Nervasport, matt black or silver?

Postby docksey007 » Fri Mar 16, 2012 9:22 pm

Hi all, first post ive made since joining the megane owners club. Was looking at getting a few opinions before i re-spray my nervasport alloys next week. Have added a terrible photoshop because i cannot find many images of this colour megane never mind with matt black alloys. Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

If you're going to go black it needs to be gloss, matt looks awful.

I second Gunmetal grey, look great on my black car. If it has to be silver'or'black though, would go for gloss rather than matt, looks much nicer.

Thanks for replies. Don't think the grey would go once I paint the bumpers red. I imagine gloss is just a shiny finish where as Matt will be a dry black? May have to swap Matt for gloss

I'd go with black. Because (IMO) red-black combination looks 100% better than red-silver one.

The only problem I see, are those (ugly) black-ish plastic pieces; side skirts and rear/front bumper. Paint them in car colour or same black what you'll paint your alloys in.
It will be perfect :)

Cheers and good luck :)

The bumper strips etc are going to be painted the same colour as car and the windows are to be tinted too with possibility of slightly lowering. Just a case of wheel colour. don't want it to look too boy racer, just more of a headturner.
