What colour for the highlights on an orange VS Clubby?

[savage1987]

A VS Clubby lookalike paintd in mandarine orange, what colour would the highlights look good in?? I'd like to keep the car purely orange, but might be too fake-looking...? Can people post up some photos of VS Clubbies in solid colours (no highlights)??

No flaming about lookalike cars please.

No highlights for me thanks! Think orange would look odd with a 2 tone as well

That second photo looks sweet as Geoff. VS HSV's FTW!!!!!!!!!!


I wanna see pics of this mandarin coloured Clubby mock up!!

Not painted up yet
Soon I'll start collecting parts - genuine VS HSV bumpers, skirts and spoiler and a few other bits I need..

My VR is getting a makeover if nobody buys it, going to have a crack at painting it. I bought a book

P.S. those pics have swung me towards the solid colour look, doesn't look weird at all without highlights, very very clean looking. I like it

Yeah i prefer the look of the solid colors most of the time.
Some 2 tones look mint though, but ever seen a diablo red clubby with silver highlights? Looks rancid as.

Whatever you do, DO NOT PUT HSV BADGES ON IT, not 1, especially not the "Clubsport" or "185" or "HSV" ones

Hahahaha yeah, nothing gayer than seeing a "clubby" or "senator" sitting at the lights, only to realise it's an ecotec V6 when it drives off.

I used to hate the 2 tone as well, but when i first saw my car, i loved it. I think i only like it in the black with silver inserts though.

The white with silver looks haggard.

Yeah, the green looks pretty rank too.
But it depends on the rest of the car too but still... meh

Wouldn't do it mate, preaching to the converted. It'll have no badges whatsoever. Besides, 185i would be an insult, it's making more than the 215s now

No Ecotec here, a modified BT1 5L... however yes I totally agree, I hate the clubby bodykit with the Ecotec badge HAVE SOME SHAME PEOPLE!!

Yeah, the green looks pretty rank too.

Plan is: nice and clean, orange all over inc. mirrors and door handles etc, colour coded taillights, NO badges, very low. Hopefully it'll look good OOVRO has me thinking about an XR8 bulge now too!!

Be Different. 2 tone, with the highlights the same colour as the top.

ie - Orange over Black, and orange highlights
