    Default Kit.. Body colour or 2 tone?

    Hey guys, just been messing around in photoshop trying to work out if I'll do a kit in body colour (Copper) or keep the 2 tone.

    Now this is still a far way down the track, and I hope I'm not violating any copyright (can't remember where the picture originally came from). Anyway here are the options:

    Cheers! Mike

    I agree with Stockers. Go the two tone. It looks much sexier.

    I like the single colour but do what you think looks best and like the best.

    cheers

    in my opinion if your putting a bodykit on it have it the single colour, but if your just having the stock front/rear bar/sideskirts/ etc leave it 2 tone!

    Thanks for your opinions guys, 3 for two tone and 4 for body colour. The majority of my mates said 2 tone.

    They both looks nuts! Can't decide what I want yet. Synoptica, nah not my car, just mocked it up to look like it. My interior is ok cond brown leather.

    Single colour = TOUGH also looks more modern. My opinion has been voiced!

    single colour would like like a mirror if done correctly but the 2 tone will hide scratches instead of having the red paint.
