Hey guys, i'll be using my bottle tops for winter, and was thinking of spraying them red, but what red would you do?
Also do you think it would look daft?

My mate had my old bottletops off me ages ago, sprayed em black and put them on a N reg golf, look really good suprising. I'd go with Black... OR GOLD!

If your going to spray them I`d defo go with black, goes really well with silver paintwork.
Reds abit fanboi scene and over the top imo, but if you like it, go for it

I'm looking forward to seeing gold ones... With a polished lip... I bet there is good money in them on the vw scene... Put some stretched tyres on, they would go mad for them.
