?Pictures of Red Westy with Black rear wings?

[derekandrewjones]

Does anyone have a picture of a red westfield that has black front and rear wings?

I have a red megablade and am thinking of replacing the rear wheel arches with black instead of red and would like to see what it looks like.

good example thanks adam

Question is whether these black rear arches would match well with carbon nose and front cycle wings?

will the difference in black be too noticable as the rear arches in Cashy's picture are very shiny ?

If you were going to buy new arches it would prolly be cheaper (and definitely be sexier) to get your current ones carbon effect coated by Auto Effect (01869 363000 - Jeanette). The finish is great. Don't know about longevity yet but AFAIK they do the SVC/Westfield light pods etc.

Carbon effect = Keep it off your car!

[samcooke]

Nah.

Carbon effect = shiny and shiny = good.

[timd]

But it doesn't even look like carbon... Why they don't just call it 'naff shiny black and grey checks' is beyond me!

[samcooke]

call it 'naff shiny black and grey checks'

I'd still buy it.

That at least explains why you bought a car that isn't a Westield

I'm with Tim. Why pay for carbon effect, when actual carbon is better on sooooo many ways....

FWIW, I went carbon effect cos they were the right product at the right price for me at the time.  It breaks up the acres of black a bit, and is very light and flexible.

Fake carbon

And just so's we're clear...

There. I think we've laboured the point enough now...

[Matt Seabrook]

 well almost

A friend of mine reckons he could sand away a few layers of the fibreglass and put a carbon-fibre layer on top. Works out cheaper instead of taking a full mould.

Is this just as bad as the fake carbon option ?
