hey mate I think it would look better if you droped the two tone down abit and added a gold pin strip so it brakes it up and so it suits your rims.

Here is a quick photo shop I did for ya

Take this pic and reverse the black and silver - looks much better to have lighter colour over the black and it will also suit your wheels better IMO - gold looks good against black but not so good against silver.

Anyone wanna do this? my photochop skills are way to poor

Cheers

and as suggested by someone earlier - you need to either try:

1. the front bar colour (ie two tone silver)

2. re-colour the front bar black to match?

This looks really good, would love to see the reversal for comparison sake.

I like the gold wheels against the silver too

Gav we've been mates a long time and you know I'm not a big fan of the wank wank two tone bs but honestly what ypurv5 has done looks brilliant, and the gold pin stripe matches the gold centers on the 20's. So when you gonna go midgy to paint it....... Is he still at ellis' or would deano do it???

Just had a thought, gav you get the drift6 bonnet or a side mount cold air intake similar to the one you had on the EL off the sequential xr8. Ypurv4 could you photo chop that, it would look tits. The reason I ask is I am extremely computer illiterate, and that's no exageration. lol

hey gav's gf here. I know being a girl, you dont get much respect for your opinion on cars lol but you boys do like to impress us with your rides so I think my views on the cosmetic part of it may be valued haha (shut up welshy ) please god no! I think that looks so bad, too many different colours. if the car were white or black, go for it. but silver is an in between colour... gold, black and silver, just doesnt go.. if the rims werent gold, it'd be awesome aswell, but as it stand now? no.. just no. for the love of god back me up and help me convice gav lol.

however, if the paint job goes ahead, who likes the idea of a rim colour change? can anyone do a photo choppy thing with black, silver and chrome rims? ta. Kristie.

The gold pin stip on mine match's 100% because it is the colour from the rim
