Have speed yellow 997 - currently black

So - Standard / gloss black / deep metalic grey

Its a local wheel specialist where I intend to go - leaving the car for 2/3 days.
Many thanks

I have had gloss black for nearly 6 years now and I'm thinking about something a bit more radical like this. Seen it on a Mclaren and looks pretty good[]

Very personal.

I'm never sure about black / black, I do like the deep metallics greys though. Yellow / Black works definitely (IMHO)

Have you tried photoshopping the different colours onto a photo of your car (in both yellow and black) to see how it looks?

My local wheel specialist (who I trust and has done my tires for years) did everything in one day - mind you - he started at about 7.30am and finished about 7.30 pm...
Good luck in your choice

Alan,

Is that faux carbon?

Des bought a Cayman R with odd customisation parts and returned it to stock. His car's wheels were dipped for carbon effect but it wasn't very convincing. Your image looks better...

Yes, hydrodipped. I think it has to be a very dark carbon as the lighter ones do look a bit odd - like Des's. Have you seen Mr Salty Monk's Macca? Looks very good with the dipped wheels.

Full of contradictions I finally opted for gunmetal grey.

Replaced photographs from original post due to Photobucket charging for image hosting.

Very nice - but you need to align the point of the crest with the valve......[]
