i wanted to keep it a certain tone of silver, but i want something period correct so a nice bronzie/ brownie silver was my prefernce. So far i really like;

- 'Pepe pepper' came out on a ltd edition cc overseas i think it was called the california or something like that. however i thought this may be hard to source
- at this stage i am quite heavily leaning towards 'autumn brown metallic' a new passat colour

this aside it will be rolling on either the ssr's or widened steelies or both. havent decided colour on steelies but if i was going autumn brown metallic i was thinking matt black with colour coded centres. Just ideas atm but yeh gonna settle on a colour shortly.

I think either of those colours would give it a nice modern retro look. (would work great with the SSR's)

should worl well with polished/chrome touches and accents.

Autumn brown, with the SSR's with gold centers and polished lips would be amazing IMO

yeh sorry you probably misunderstood me; i would leave the ssr's as is bar a minor refurb polish etc.

but my 14"x8" steelies allow for the orignal mk1 chrome hub cap. so i was gonna do the steelie in matt black and the chrome hub cap colour coded...something different bit of an experiement really.

I see, would still look awesome with the SSR's how they are now
