I decided to get my Spielbergs professionally re-painted black after the 19 inch Pretoria's were going to cost a small fortune. Also got the silver strip at the front painted black. pity there is no sun today after I picked the car up.

Absolutely stoked with the result and love the look.

It's surprising how the change in colour impacts on the Spielbergs.

I reckon you'll want to black out the mirror caps to finish that look off.

+1 Nice job on the wheels and mirror caps need to go black (aftermarket caps or get them wrapped).

Plus you need to do a front plate mount delete to clean up the front of the car. No point having slimline plates if you whack it straight on top of a big ugly piece of unpainted black plastic.

Thanks guys.
At some stage I think I will get the mirror caps done. Black or even black carbon fibre.
Haven't even noticed the slimline plates against the larger plastic.
I am guessing you can buy the plastic mount to suit the slimline plates size?

Cheers

Yeah you could go either way with the mirror caps but now that you have black wheels you kind of need them to tie into the rest of the car.

In terms of the front plate mount just remove the factory one and attach the plate direct to the bumper. Then either get some small plugs or stickers with touch-up paint to cover the holes.
