Another 108 refurb

Simon Blythe · Post by **Simon Blythe** » Sun Jul 16, 2017 6:53 pm

Phase one of the refurb of my 108's - the question now is the colour. I'd originally, and still do think OEM silver however, I'm thinking anthracite would look nice with the titanium bolts.

My fear with the anthracite is if it will suit the car and bring the overall look down.

The biggest bonus is that all bolts freed off and the wheels split easily.

Jmo but on your silver grey car i would go either 2 contrasting silvers or matt black star with high silver rim

Here's a set of 2 tones i had done

Do you mean polished rim and silver star?

I wouldn't personally have polished 108 rim but you could have high silver rim with a different colour silver star

Hi Simon, thinking of splitting my 108's in the near future hope the bolts come off and the wheels split as easy as yours seem to have.
In the bottom picture are they wooden dowels you have put in the bolt holes ready to go off for refurb.

Don't go black middles, they look awful on any car! Anthracite would look great imo

I'm for two tone! Silver and black, or silver and anthracite!

Did you do it all with the tyres on then?

No mate - dropped them in this morning and picked them up this evening. The powder coaters did the tyres

I am still thrilled with my 108 colour choice.
But it's a personal thing

More than happy - I appreciate how lucky I am to have such a great car as my toy.
