came out of work, got into the car as usual. took my girlfriend shopping and i notice a dent! a very large dent by the looks of it someone with a 4x4 with the spare tire on the back has just shanked it. will get a picture up in a bit when im on my computer.

only positive is i can look for a smoothed bonnet so anyone with an ash black smoothed bonnet, let me know

Noooo not black will look so Much better in the white there in!
Rather show off my alloys than hide them!

ash black? i think they would look smart! but okay, i will see what they are like white

you know my thoughts bud
white ftw
they look lik rally mags anyway and with them bein white sets it off but it does seem to be the band wagon to have them white
end of the day its down to you
have a look at scamps thread his alloys are a nice colour

yeh i do like white but as you said, it is the norm to have white alloys on black si's! i was thinking ash black, blend in with the car, like my wheel trims are now. looks really nice. but yeha, anthracite isnt it? i will get on photoshop and play around with a few ideas.
