Nevada White paint with black alloys

[MikeJFR]

Hi, I'm thinking of getting the (18" performance) alloys on my Nevada White leon powder coated black. Has anyone already down this and if so could they post a pic? Can anyone also comment on the durability of powder coating. Obviously this depends in the quality of the job, just after general observations. I assume kerbed marks will be more visible.

Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike. Deanc on forum got his alloys painted or coated different colour not black though think grey. I would put a link up but not sure how to do it. I'm sure if you do search you could find it. Surprised deanc hasn't seen this post and replied, maybe on holiday.

Just spotted a White FR with Black Performance Alloys on ebay (selling at Listers in Coventry).

There are some good pictures at the moment on their website: -

Thanks for the link. Having seen the pics think I actually prefer the alloys as is unpainted!

Think I agree, although I like what Tardis56 and DeanC have done with theirs.

I've ordered my car through Listers in Coventry, and have seen this one while I've been there. It looks a lot better in the metal than in the pics. Even though the pics are quite good, they still don't really do it justice. Its a cracking little car up close.

Black wheels are nice but they show up marks quite bad.

Its not so bad when ordering new, suppose it comes down to who can offer the best price.

Each to their own but love my Nevada white + 18s just the way they are, such a good looking car! Think the black takes something away rather than adds... Reckon they might look ok on the Lima green version perhaps..

They do seem to have a complete bunch of knobs working there. The only guy in the dealership who seems to have a clue what he's doing is Steve Hemmings, who I have to say has so far been great, except for asking me to wait even longer for delivery since he's on holiday while I'm due to collect... The rest of them seem to have begun their lives in a pond. While I was there the first time I witnessed one of them using a credit card to remove some bird lime from a demonstrator they had sat outside... I have used them to supply my car, but believe me they will be going nowhere near it once I've collected it. If I'd realised just how bad they were before I'd ordered I'd have gone elsewhere... It has been a very nervous wait, and I don't think I'll be able to put my mind at rest until I have the keys in my hand and I know there are no problems. Its a shame isn't it that there is no real way to know how good your local dealer is until you've experienced (or suffered!) their service skills!

Still, time will tell...
