I have an Estoril Blue Z with normal silver wheels. Want to change to shadow chrome and wondered if anyone had or could take some pics so I could compare. Thanks.

Pictures are tricky to show the actual colour, plenty of variations online, gets confusing!

I wanted something similar but also went to the wheel places and looked at actual colours they had on display to see their finishes as you will find it varies from shop to shop depending on which paint/powder coat supplier they use.

Suffice to say shadow chrome works brilliantly on Estoril Blue.

Thanks for that. Had looking on line but nothing shown clearly. Will be going to Duxford show some hopefully see some there.

Always happy, apart from when I'm not 🤬

Mine are shadow chrome albeit not in 'M' style wheels. May help a bit. :)

Cheers. Suits your car but wonder if they will suit mine as it is a lighter blue. Hopefully might see some at Duxford.

Spooky, mine are being done next Wednesday, car is Atlanta Blue, was looking at shadow chrome but will probably end up with shiny silver. Don't want to get it wrong, costly.

Well, I'm Zedless, just taken it to Flat Out Alloys in Cardiff for the alloys to be refurbed. After questioning the guy there about their security, he assured me that all the cars are locked up indoors with cctv coverage and said ' we do Bentleys, Aston Martin and many other expensive cars here' I told him that might be the case, they still make those marques, mines a Z3 they don't make them any more, it's a classic, priceless. It was lost on him, looked at me stupid, at that point I left. Roll on Friday afternoon, we will be reunited. Yippee.:)
