and the rear ones are already painted red but dont know if it will look good. so thought maybe sliver,gold or even same colour as the car?

Have you got any pics of cars in blue like mine so i can see?

Silver, red.. are those wheels just for storage, work wheels or the wheels the car will be on? Not saying they are crap or nowt, just you may not see much caliper through them.

I've always maintained yellow is one of those odd colours which seems to go with almost anything on cars (in small amounts, like brake calipers). :D

Those discs were a real PITA to get hold of lol

Ordered them from CRN, first their website didn't take the order properly, then they lost the order, in the end if took a good few months to actually get them - however their customer service is top notch, they were always there on the end of the phone and even dropped in a freebie pack of Auto Glym for having to wait so long lol
