Default 964 with new Carrera side graphics - opinions??
Well, I finally got round to fitting the silver Carrera decals today, that I bought a couple of years ago - great quality kit - Autosport decals, New Zealand.

Still kinda in two minds, I like the colour contrast on Baltic Blue, but not totally sure if it works with the black wheels,though the calipers are silver. I also painted the 'Carrera 2' rear deck badge silver to match.

Any opinions, good or bad welcome!

Greetings from USA. Great color!

I offer my opinion - I recommend you go to silver wheels to compliment the silver carrera side graphics. Looks a bit odd right now. In other words, why did you not go with black graphics? That might have looked great.

cheers mate!

Love the silver graphics w/ silver wheels. I think silver wheels will really tie it all together on your car. Here is mine in guards red;

I think it looks great with the current wheels. I would have to see it with the silver ones to judge that, but I like the graphics on your car.

I agree that the graphics should match the wheels whether black or silver.

I have to agree, it looks good. BUT, I do think its a bit "off". If it were my car, I would definitely pick out some silver wheels. That would tie the wheels, graphic, interior and your lights all together giving you an overall theme to the car.

Love the black wheels, just changed mine to black & considering a black decal.

IMO leave the decal for now, when you get sick of it you can take it off easier than repainting the wheels back to silver.

BTW - I love Edinburgh, great city!
