p111ddy Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 As some may know & most wont my car is currently with GVN and I'm debating on a change of colour even though I really do love a nice red supra:cool: However the question I have for you all is, Does anyone have a gunmetel supra with a carbon bonnet or do any of you have any pic's that you can post on this here thread please? Thanks for any help people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I think Bromy does, search the members list to find him and have a peek in his vbgarage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 He does, and it's very nice too. Bit darker would be my taste but very very smart imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlT67 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I think gunmetal with carbon would make a great combination...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was thinking bcause as it stands with the way my car is going to turn out it'll be some what in your face lol & not that I mind that but I would like it to be a little more classy with it.

hogmaw Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Yes it does look nice. His wheels set the thing off nicely too, good combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I think Ro (Kopite) had a border style bonnet, and TRD carbon wing on his Gunmetal car, I thought it looked really nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 all these obsessions with carbon... I don't know !! ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Haggas Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Good old carbon,keeps me busy all year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'd say carbon would look good against gunmetal bodywork - just the right amount of contrast. The only combination I'm not too keen on is carbon and black as it just looks wierd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bromy Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Mine isn't carbon, it is a stock bonnet painted in a Honda:innocent: grey pearl. I wanted the look but did not like the fact that some that I have seen dont fit too good and also shelling out £500 and getting stone chips and not being able to repair it.

Muffleman Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 What you want is a black car with Dymag carbon magnesium wheels. They do various coloured spokes, imagine black spokes on a black car with carbon rims http://www.dymag.com/Update_Aug_2007_images/product%20page/wheel%201.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bromy Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Does look good fella. So do you have any other plan's or you happy with the way it is? Would not mind a replica TRD from Nic and paint the sides quicksilver and have the carbon blade, I quite like the standard look of the supra. I am also going to have my alloys refurbished when Ibrar has his service up and running, might go for a different colour centre.... this is the standard wheel http://www.rh-wheels.com/index.cfm?P=wheels_detail&PID=84680 might go for something like this http://www.rh-wheels.com/index.cfm?P=wheels_detail&PID=184426 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
