On bright coloured Minis, I usually opt for black arches. But it depends what overall colour motif you're going for.

Oh, I just re-read you post, you tried loading your pics. to Photobucket first, then just using the IMG link?

If you've got black rims perhaps red arches would look better, that's just my preference though.

my red looks dull compared to yours,must admit was a dodgy job,looks great.my mirrors are white at mo soon to be black.think black arches are in then until you replied with red on black rims.was actually thinking of having the rims stripped back to silver.

Photobucket is an online photo storage facility. It allows you to upload images to an online server, so that you can use them in forums etc simply by copying the link photobucket provides. You then click the little photograph icon located in the toolbar that's above me as I type this message, and paste the link in. The photo will then appear!

 

Go to Photobucket.com and create a profile, it's a fairly straightforward process.

Have you tried giving it a good polish? It may just need a bit of TLC?
