    Yeah the blue works

    But I agree with above, blue footwells and blue dash would top it off nicely.

    Looks good, certainly given me some ideas, cant say that I'm a fan of the grille though but as long as you like it who gives a crap eh?

    The blue dash is one thing but the silver switches make it a thousand times worse in my opinion. If you want the blue dash then so be it but all the rest you've done makes it look like you don't know when to stop. I fear that in a couple of months there wont be a single thing inside the car that wont have been painted.

    I think the plates would be the biggest fail. nice paint job, wrong colour.
    Take it easy...But do take it...

    No I never painted anything inside or under the bonnet, I have put a bit of chrome work under the hood though.

    Ok it kinda worked with just the engine cover, then you added the other photos... with everything blue and sparkly... it just looks like a Mardi Gras float.

    Wink

    Here's a quick photoshop of how i would eventually like to have my car.

    And here's the VY Clubsport Body Kit I wanna get for it before the paint job.

    and yeah i did go a little crazy with blue engine bay but owell i like. but i gotta admit the blue grille looks shit so i'll probably paint em silver.
