Matte Black 197

[Peak Performance Tyres]

Dont do it..... Looks allright on £500 ****ter civics..... But not on nice cars..... I've seen stuff like GTR's Q7's etc..... Why someone would want a nice car with a ****e paint job i dont know.....

RE: the carbon wrap, there were several cars with wrapped panels at Ford Fair this year, typically they looked fine, until you saw a car with a real carbon fibre bonnet, roof, etc. at which point the wrap looked a bit rubbish IMO. By the end of the day, carbon wrapped stuff was just looking cheesey, and obviously fake.

agree 100%. you can tell if its fake a mile off so dont see the point?! ... would like to see a 197/200 in st orange thou...im sure ive seen a orange 197 somewhere

The carbon 133 looks amazing. I too remember the matt black 197 and in all honesty I thought it looked horrid, the only saving grace was that it could be taken off and you had a decent car under there!

One thing I would say to anybody who does any wrapping with the 3M vinyl is to make sure that you spray some laquer on it too, it gives an amazing gloss finish and looks 10x better than the normal stuff.

yeah thats a good idea paul. i do think carbon wrap is a bit chavvy though tbh.

dreaming of a carbon car?

Yeah I have to agree too much is, well, too much! I have a few bits done and won't do any more unless it is the real thing.

As for dreaming of a carbon car, I think Streamlines car is almost 50% carbon by now lol! I really wouldn't say no to that - just don't fancy paying for it lol!

I love that Storm Grey 197... word can't describe!

Yeah I saw my first SG while I was at WSR, looked absolutely stunning! In all honesty I dont think there is a bad colour for the 197 or 200!

yellow calipers is usually an indication of ceramic brakes.

MSN ran a story few weeks back about all the supercars from dubhia beeing in london, chrome usually looks tacky but there was a chrome Merc SLR ... it looked the dogs danglies
