Updates of my Gordini [No. 434]

[Curley]

Both look cool just thought white wheels would go well with the stripes etc. lovely car tho mate

White ties in good with the theme but black looks alot more purposeful.

Stunning, some nice little touches there fella! :thumbup:

 

[Paul]

Really nice looking car mate! Seems like you are enjoying it!

I had to laugh at this pic in the petrol station - someone clearly didin't want their pic taking haha!

 

[pez1356]

If your looking at different wheels it HAS to be white IMO! Think that would look stunning on white speedlines!
