Hi guys,
I haven't seen this done by a lot of people. Everybody with silver saxos tend to go for the silver + black theme which to be honest is getting kinda boring now and too common! :n:
I thought saxo651's VTR looks the sex with white VTS alloys. I was thinking of doing the same kind of thing, with mk1 rear lights, smoked headlights, meshed grill, mk1 spoiler and a few other things.
Anyway here's a picture of saxo651's VTR:

What do you all think? Votes please! :)
(saxo651, hope you dont mind me putting a picture of your car up mate, if you do just PM me)

I have white VTR rims on the silver Mk1.
I would say they look better with the brighter Mk2 rear lights and standard fronts though

i was really deciding on this. theres a silver 106 turbo round my area with white 206 sirroccos and i think it looks mint.
got a photoshop done on my car and think white goes so much better when the cars colourcoded. think im keeping silver on silver though

No close up pics of the car on it's own as I've not properly cleaned it since putting them on but I do have this one:

hi power silver on silver, looks uber clean
i was never really a fan of white on silver when i had a silver vts, your stuck a bit when it comes to choosing wheel colours on a silver car as i feel really only dark and silver work!
eg!

white looks nice..i think the only reason people do black is cos the trim is black..iv got for anthracite myself

Your car looks sweet mate! Is that anthracite grey? did you refurb the alloys yourself? Also, are those mk1 rear lights? :)

ive got black on my silver VTS, as someone said... because it matches the trim. the white doesnt look to bad but i wouldnt get it done as i dont think it matches. i do however have a rally model of a silver vt with white alloys. and its growing on me

I know what you mean, I didn't used to like the white but it grew on me after seeing saxo651's car.
