Arcadias powder coated in Satin Black & a few other bits

gatos · Jul 3rd, 2012, 18:57

Here we go. SWMBO and me decided that the silver Arcadias are going to The Diesel, so the newly refurbished black Arcadias are up for grabs. Not sure what a good asking price is, but I was thinking of £260 for the alloys only or £320 for the alloys and set of tyres (2 Bridgstones at 4 to 5mm and 2 Events at 5 to 6mm)
The Arcadias were chemically treated, sandblasted and then powder coated and they would look brilliant in most cars except for red or maroon ones.

Also for sale:
- Chrome speedo rings frame at £25
- Cupholder console at £25 and
- 4 white sidemarkers at £25.

I would prefer collection for the alloys, but postage would be considered too. Or if I find my way to Birmigham, we could meet somewhere on the way. Postage for the smaller items at £3.49 with Collect+

Maybe it is me, but I've checked the Matt Black tyres on a red and and a maroon S40 and for some reason they just didn't look right. They look fantastic on the dark green, Titanium grey, white and even the phase 1 very dark maroon aurbeginy colour S40s. You can see what they look like on the Silver V40 above.

I do regret it choosing Matt black powder coating for the Arcadias that would go on our car and if I could go back in time I would have gone for the light gunmetal grey finish. End of the day it is a personal choice and preference, but most people who saw the black arcadia on our maroon S40 said it looked wrong

Hi Dan

Already replied to your PM. I am afraid Slevin was first to ask for the sidemarkers first thing this morning

Think they look really good in Matt black, would suit a panama yellow Volvo to I think

robsv40 · Jul 4th, 2012, 22:53

Look sh!t hot on blue. Can't tell if these are gunmetal ones but you get the idea. Shame I'm skint atm. Crap

Will these fit ok on a 2002 S40 T4? I keep looking at posts to the do with bolts on the wheel arches and I think I have two on the front and one on the back? though I could be wrong....I believe one is better for Arcadias?

Also trying to decide if these would look a bit naff on a black car? Hmmmmmm!
