Thanks mate, appreciate the feed back...

Basically this car goes against what I used to be, on my old VT sedan, I had Chrome 18's (at the time 18's were today's 20's) - 5 years ago roughly...? full lower body kit, no rear wing, black windows, lowered as much as I could etc etc... :smoking:

This time around the wheels were more of an impulse buy, I didn't want to be like another young fella getting Chrome 20's and the guy at my local tyre shop was like "we just got these in..." :idea:

If I had more $$$ I would definately do things differently, maybe suicide rear doors, or get a new set of shoes for her once its painted!! Getting over them slowly.. They look better clean but :rofl2:
While still trying to keep the car LEGAL, or verrrry close to it, to avoid any unwanted attention.



AND..... a little more on the Defect side of things..

PASSED! :beer chug:

Door handles, Rims, Height, The lot!!
So the cars all sweet, engineered, bluey'd, etc,

Although this sets the Paint back a little..
Still thinking VE Blue, or Purple..
But love that two tone silver/blue Chop in here somewhere..
And Black out the centres of the rims.

yer defenatly i say the 2 tone blue and silver looks tough, yer it would set those rims off it they were black with maby the outside polised up, maby some blue walls for the tyres as well if thats ur cup of tea?

anyway fantastic job, hope it keeps going smoothly.

yeahh, it could be a night mare to keep clean, and scratch free..

I like the idea of a flat black lower half, and a gloss candy red over the black on the top half... if you get me, so dark all over but with a slight tint to red/gloss.

But that blue silver looks noice!!

I like the blue on silver look but in my opinion if you were to do it, you should make the colours meet where that body line is closest to the bottom of the door, the photoshop picture there's soo much silver and not enough blue.

Keep the blue and silver idea but enough with the black/lip wheels. Paint them the bottom silver colour with a polished lip maybe.
