4200 Grigio Grey, show me yours!!!

[Catalan3200]

When I saw my car at Dicky's I was smitten with the Mercury finished wheels and yellow calipers. It does make the car look more aggressive and not at all "dainty". The changes were made by the previous owner Andy & I think he did a great job. I'm hoping she will be a keeper, so maybe one day I'll take them back to the silver. Not sure whether the yellow calipers will look as good against silver though.

Regardless, I love the look and let's be honest, we do it for ourselves first and hope that others will see what we see. If others agree it just adds to our belief - if they don't, then we wonder why!

Yes Malcolm you are right it does give a more aggressive look and I agree with you that mine do look more 'dainty' in silver - never thought I'd describe them as that but you've hit the nail on the head!

Glad that we can have these conversations regarding the differences and how we view them!

Cheers, Simon

im just about to have my 4200 (facelift Argento Luna, the same as SimonCC's ) wheels painted in metallic dark grey as i think sliver with the light blue makes the car look very washed out . So hoping it will fit with my colour and make it look a bit more aggressive . plus contrasting wheels look ok i think . we shall see ;?

I'd recommend grey wheels with Argento Luna, look at these two Gransports, one set are too dark, the second set bob on:

Hi Dicky
My car is one of your old ones:

and i looked at those two when trying to decide what colour to do my wheels . i was just going to do them in the maser mercury colour but im not sure if they will suit a 4200 facelift wheel ?

what do you think ?

 

[dickygrace]

They will suit spot on just make sure they're a mid grey and not too dark.

 

[Spartacus]

well the colour i have found is actually a metallic black to give it a bit of a sparkle in the sun aswell , what do you think ? as you can see it changes with the light

 

[mjheathcote]

Maybe a bit blingy, maybe...(says me!)

 

[Spartacus]

no more blingy than a sparkle silver i think . it just brighten up the dark paint . its more of shadow silver really

 

[mjheathcote]

Sparkle silver can be too much IMHO though.
I do like smoke chrome though, black chrome, or whatever they call it?

 

[Spartacus]

i think this will look like that . it does nt do it any favours being looked at up close like in the photos . its a very fine flake . im going to try an old alfa wheel ive got first .
