    white.
    I've sanded off the silver paint that wasn't already flaking off and bogged up the "sequential injection" writing and lines on top of the cover so far.

    im currently doing mine at the moment, trying for same colour theme as car. (black and chrome)
    also what do you need the badges for?

    black colour it is. matches car


    how the chrome part will look when done. same colour will be the top lines and all wording.
    how about we make the pedals out of sticky rubber and the shoes with steel spikes. at least my shins would like that
