    Default this is odd... butttt...

    as stated, this is odd, and for anyone who has any negative comments i dont wanna hear it. i want to do something DIFFERENT for the time being. i might paint the bottom half of my car a black purple when i get side skirts and do something about the front bumper (my boot will be the same colour) i just wanna know if anyone else thinks this could come out okay, like better then the silver it currently has, keep in mind i never said i think its gonna look brilliant, but different.

    cheers guys

    I'm not sure what you expect to come from this thread. You want opinions, but only from people that agree with you?

    Where would you split the colours? Half way up the doors is the usual 2-tone thing to do. Just the bumpers/skirts being a different colour usually looks cheap and half-arsed.
    Do you still just have the massive rear bar or is it a matching kit yet? I'd work on finishing that before starting something new

    A picture of the car + kit in question might help..

    What you are talking about almost always looks crap to most people. Being young, you might think it looks awesome, but just realise most older people driving past you will be laughing at it. It's up to you if that matters to you.

    I think it will look really bad. But again it's up to you, it won't be the worst thing people have done to their car.

    Yeah to be perfectly honest, I think it will look horrible. I reckon' the silver two tone re-done looks awesome, I did mine. I reckon you should just get some asteroid grey paint and redo the silver.

    mate if you think it looks good then do what makes you happy.
    personally purple suxs, but a nice black with purple pearl is ok.

    I believe the OP is 16, so you're an oldie by comparison
