B4 Liberty

[LIBBY_B4]

Hey, im a proud new owner of this awsum B4.

Ive had it for a week now and luving it.

Its pretty much stock apart from a few things:

Whiteline rear sway bar
Whiteline front strut brace
Lowered springs
3" HKS exhaust
Apexi pod filter

This is pretty much it at the moment. Have a few things planned for it in the next couple of months.

What do people think of powder coating the stock BBS wheels black with a gloss finish???

hey welcome
another gen 3 B4 joins the ranks

black rims look great but not glossy go matt black

Welcome! The B4 looks great! Did it come modded or did you do the mods after you got it? Would have been pretty cool to buy it modded already as it jump starts things for you.

[LIBBY_B4]

Yeh it came modded which was handy.

Got a few things in mind for the moment but nothing too serious.

Very nice. Not sure i like the fog light surrounds colour coded. Im thinking matte black rims and matte black fog surrounds and front lip would tie it all up nicely.

Where are you from?

I think black or any dark shade rims would look the bees knees. +1 on the black fog covers

check this post out if u want to see what those bbs looks like powdercoated.

Leave the wheels silver IMO. </2c>

Yeh the fog light surrounds came like that when i bought the car.

What you did to your wheels is exactly what i want to do. Except i dont have a sand blaster etc.

I live near ringwood, so i might give that Multicoat a call in Rowville. How much did the powdercoating set you back roughly, 100 a wheel??

I was charged $330 cash

Boring. Silver on silver.

[LIBBY_B4]

Yeh i agree.

Silver on silver is boring.

Need some contrast.

330 isnt too bad. Checking prices out tomorrow

Yes not to bad. The problem is time spent sand blasting the rims. I had some 17's done and they cost $250 as there where less spokes.

55 per wheel to have them powdercoated, u can sandblast ur rims at http://abrasivesandblasting.com/ they charge I think 15-20 per wheel from memory.

Yeh thats sweet.

I dont have a spare set of wheels.

So can i still get the wheels sandblasted and powdercoated with the tyres still on?
