Thinking of finally getting the alloys refrubed and resprayed this weekend and really cant make my mind up what colour.

My 6 is black and Ive wanted black cyclones for ages. But not Im thinking will it be too much and should I go white instead or something completely different...

Anybody seen any odd colours before that actually suited the 306?

I had black alloys on my old black six. Looked pretty sweet, but got mixed opinions from others.
I always found they looked good, as long as they were kept sparkling clean.
Don't do them white. No

I was half thinking the black flake sparkle you can get but think that might looks a bit daft just on the alloys.

Some kind of grey or graphite would look good on a black car. Maybe a Peugeot colour like Cossack Grey or Iron Grey, or you could go a bit lighter.

Williams Renault Gold.


I have my black compomotives, but when ever I see a 306 on standard cyclones.... they're lush! If our balancer at work did solid centre wheels I'd probably still be using them

Marco has a black six and had the wheels done orange, looks very good.




So good I went out and had a set of pro race wheels done, need to find a car to fit them to.

Yes, mate.

If I remember correctly I was selling it to do my bike test. I never did get round to it. LOL

Any ideas where it ended up?

I like the idea especially if your doing some work under the bonnet you can match it with - But from my point of view is a bit too garish for general day to day use... Well I say garish - some people will probably say that about the colour I am going for ha.

It's amateur, but can be done. They'll be prone to peeling from the tyre outward, tho. Yes
