   red will look the best, had it on my silver / grey sax and looked top.
   
   Sometime just black looks nice and clean though

   I thought red, but i was told by someone today that gold goes surprisingly well, but it had to be a speecific type of gold.

   Yellow, black or depends on what theme you got? like interior if you have any red or blue things like that.. picks would help TBH

   I don't have a digi camera, the interior is untouched, but i'm going to get some buckets soon. I do have some green in there, but not a lot.

   Has anyone ever had this done by a bodyshop or something? I really fancy it, but don't have tools/patience to take the wheels off, nor do I fancy fiddling round the brakes anyway!
   
   Would get mine done black i think, maybe red for the front calipers but I hate it when people have a bold colour on rear drums.. drawing attention to shitness lol

    lol, mate, it is very very simple. Your telling me you haven't even taken a wheel off before? The socket wrench thing comes with the car, as does the jack.
    
    Havent had the Saxo ones off yet, but for my other car all you needes was a socket set and allan key set for it. very very easy.

    You should have done yours while your wheels were getting refurbed.
    Saves possibility of damaging them when you take them off now.

    What about gold with some of those yellowstuff pads, or red with the redstuff pads. What do people think of that??
