Blufin are a very reputable company for your remap aswell, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres my chrome one: Replaced with this after paint, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyBhoy Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 oft lol if I had known they where only £28 I would have just bought a new and wrapped it that way I could have just kept the chrome as a spare am sure someone said they where around 100 quid to buy one hense why I was so carefull when taking it off lol Sent from my GT-I9505 using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyBhoy Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Am not sure im really struggling to make my mind up I like gloss black against the silver but that was the colour combination I had on my last car so was thinking something a bit different either anthracite grey or just get them done silver with a candy purple sparkle through it then do my calipers candy purple to match Sent from my GT-I9505 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyntdci Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 thats something i never thought of doing, making your own colour scheme, the last option sounds nice, and doubt it would of been done previous like black etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
