Matt black, sometimes it just does not work

[hoopsontoast]

Just no....

[MrSpeedy]

I actually kinda like that, in a weird perverse wrong kinda way

[Copey]

i like it

[Rusted Pistons]

Just needs lowering - I quite like it...

[akku]

I've seen worse.

At least that looks a nice even job.

[ChrisT]

it's not the colour that's the problem it's that arch gap

[DavidB]

I love Acclaims, but would prefer that in gold or something. It's like something is missing from it?

[scoobypete]

i like it too.looks like a sleeper...any more info?

[stealthstylz]

Blacked out lights, a healthly slam and some wide (but still black) alloys and that would look mean.

Matt

[p1RATE]

I agree with the above, I quite like it. needs to be slammed

[MR TIKI]

having lowered it I'd remove the front bumper,flush mount the sidelights and add some wide wheels,that having been said if the owner rolls with a smile then its job done already! ;D

[md]

looks like its been painted well, would look good decked on wide wheels.

however I'm unsure on those bonnet vents....

[Garry]

Its a standard Acclaim with a matt paintjob. Do that to a Chevette, Cortina mk5, Golf and it'll look the same. Rims + stick = win.

How about posting something you do like instead?

Some matt win to save the thread.

I just don't think it works on an acclaim

[shippy170]

lol at the metro!!!! haha an lovin the capri!!! that acclaim is kool just needs banded steels, slammed an that bumper has to go lol

[Dom]

It's the mix of blacks with the wheels and plastic I don't like.

[Rich606]

I'm picturing the wheels off this:



On this:



With a thin gold pinstripe/coach line down the side of the car and a healthy reduction in altitude.

[Mad Max]

That metro is cool as! hmmm inspiration...

[Deleted]

I agree that the acclaim don't pull the satin black off but for a different reason from looking at the standard car is pretty cluttered it has way to much trim and a few to many things going on with the body line if it were smoothed out something done with the frankly terrible huge bumpers and what look like lorry mirrors and over sized side repeaters coupled with a decent bit of slam and some nice polished rim deep dish wheels it would look great in the satin black

[alfaboy]

Gloss black banded rims with a silver pinstripe around the edge with some reduced arch gap, job done.
