Well If anyone's interested in any about this size, have a few colours of vinyl and most of the common logos so can help out...

A few years ago I'd be looking for more logos, however these days I like the sleeper look :)

They are all shades you have to mix yourself, i'll have a go but bold might come out yellow and gunmetal will come out gray :-k

Thanks! :D

I still think that in the absence of being able to get the true Rays bronze colour, an off gold/bronze is the way to go. :thumleft:

Are you able to make it the same shade/glossy blue as the car? (tiny bit darker is oké as well)

I'd either redo them the same colour or change to satin black.

Also look good in white.

White looks chavvy IMHO.
Satin black would be a better pick.

Interesting video: describes the forged wheels as being powder coated, then sprayed- not anodised, might not be the case for the Te37s though :-k

Loving the look of the new Te37sl, "pressed graphite" colour, and lighter than the Te37s as well =P~ =P~

The black works really well on that car. I'm worried it wouldn't look so good on mine though :-k
