Default Show us your te37's !

Sup guys,

Thinking about getting getting my te37s refurbed soon, they are currently mag blue but i fancy a bit of a change, i'm torn between the following colours...

Matte black
Gloss black
F zero blue
Orange
Yellow
Takata green

Here is how the car sits at the moment...




I really do like mag blue, but i have a big feeling if i get them refurbed it's going to be impossible to replicate the original mag blue colour!

Also before you say have a search i have done, i've spent ages looking at different examples, just finding it hard to find some decent pics with the above colours ( especially on a BB).
Also my photoshop skills suck so too!

Cheers
Elliot

FYI - if you choose to have them replicated to match the original Volk Racing Magnesium Blue , the Ford Royal Blue, paintcode "KM" is almost identical.

Here's a picture of one of my old TE37s that were painted that color.

I love my mag blue te's... During the day. At night I feel they're too dark since I have a BB like you. Feels like there should be a bit of contrast.

I say go f zero blue.

Cheers guys! Eric that colour looks spot on dude, thanks for that.

And yeah i know what you mean man, i do love them in the sun light, it's pretty cool how they differ depending on the lighting.
at the moment im set on F zero blue, but then again black would be pretty fresh, or yellow...

I had the inside of my spokes painted black and left the outside gunmetal with a polished lip.
Painting the rims inside black made them look a little wider and bigger- especially if you decide to go with a brighter color. you might like it...

Volk 18" Le/te 37s (18 18x7.5/8.5(+48/+50)
FALKEN FK 452's (215/40/18 Front, 255/35/18 Rear)

this is a before and after pic of the work (with tape still on the finished lip)


and here it is on the car
