Photoshop request- GP white Carrera

Hello-

I have no skills, so I thought I would see if anyone here can help me make my P car look a little better.

I am trying to decide whether to ditch the wheels for some new Fuchs, or just anodize my centres black, and also would love to see that with a Carrera decal, and also with just the stone guard decal.

Thanks to anyone that can help with this!

Stone guards would make it look worse, not better, IMO. I don't think a Carrera decal would be an improvement either.

My opinion - lose the tail and swap the wheels for black-centered ones (preferably 17" Fuchs replicas).

Agreed, and looking into Fuchs, but want to see what these would look like with black centres.

+1 on going to Fuchs

If the tail is original keep it. Body work to the car is not easily reversed if you don't like the out come.
Euromeister makes a really nice Fuch replica @17 will change the cars look immensely.

My GP White Carrera with 17" Zuff Fuchs with centers powder coated red to match the red Carrera script.

For those big brakes you'll need to stick with the 17's

Leave well enough alone - it looks good, so why mess with it? That said, I could see it with a stone guard, but not Carrera script - bogus.

Nice wheels.

Aren't those Fikse FM5? Easy call. Keep them. They are badass looking, lite, strong, and they aren't Fuchs like everyone else'. You could change center color, black or even white.

If I was going to change anything, it would be the stance, not the wheels. Lower it a little (or maybe those picture angles are bad), as you can see daylight between top of wheel and fender.

Pretty car, I like it.
