What colour to paint my banded steels?
#1
My steels are in need of a refurb at some point, after some opinions on what colour to go for. Thinking maybe a 2 tone red centre and white outer?
If anyone wants to do some photoshops for me feel free Wink

Yeah that would look good, as they are with a red lip to tie in with the GTI bumper detail

Blacks boring for some steels IMO esp as these aren't mega banded so don't look that deep. I want to stick to the European Rallye 205 look I'm after, but different.

Other way round IMO, white centre, red lip.
But try to match the red to the bump strips. Full of win!

Did you use the original gearbox and sensor? Or have you put a 306 box in it with a 306 sensor?

306 box and sensor. The 205 one's are the same, just in a different place.

The 205 sensor I have is 3 pin and the 306 is a 2 pin and the plugs are different. Can you pm me some photos so i can stop hijacking?

Leave them white, add a red pinstripe on the lip/dish IMO

Go for the green and see if you can get green pinstripes and green bumper inserts to match - be different to everyone else.

I don't like the blue or green, far to lairy and reminds me of chavs in Civics when they discover the halfords paint section.

Can someone do a photoshop of red and white?

I love the white as they are, or even white with a red lip could look good!
