Clever people ( a favour )

Morning All.

Spend a great weekend at Peterborough but with so many options and sellers I really need the clever people on here to help me. I'm after some new black alloys and was wondering if it's worth painting the bonnet black........ So over to those clever people who can use a photo editing program as I'm a resounding failure

Would it be possible to alter this photo to show a black bonnet and black alloys I'm looking at sawtooth 16inch but would like a larger tyre as I'm currently running standard wheel tyre combo......

Your help is much appreciated.

Black wheel arches and windscreen hinges could also help to finish it off.........!!

Personally I'd go with black arches rather than bonnet

You could go for a black vinyl wrap. It's probably cheaper than paint, and it is removable.

Every time I drive any distance towards the setting or rising sun I remember that I meant to get a matt black vinyl wrap on the bonnet!

Ok well that's a start looks ok I'm liking the idea of the arches and wrap idea that would as you say cheaper and if it's not that good over time it can come off !

Thanks once I've decided what way I go I will post some more photos up of the bits added.

Have a good one ...............

Yes good point ! ............. Anyone any ideas in terms of wheel tyre combo. I'm looking towards sawtooth with a bigger tyre...... Would this be a reasonable combo the only downside I guess is cleaning them !
