You should really really save your pics as JPEG (.jpg) files Jonboy, as Windows Bitmaps (.bmp) files are hoooooge in comparison..

Feel free to use these that I copied and converted  s:) :) s:)

Looks good IMO Jonboy. Good match with side indicator lens.

I'm with Kris. With all the best in the world, nothing personal, but just not my thing. To close a match to the original colour for me. Kinda makes it look a little "cartoonish" now..........IMHO  s:? :? s:?    s:shock: :shock: s:shock:    s:wink: :wink: s:wink:    s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

But if you think they look the mutts, then thats all that matters innit?!!!  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

maybe without the red seats it woudl work better.

I like the colour, (for teh whole car) but not as a contrast to silver I'm afraid.

NO  s:shock: :shock: s:shock:  just not the right color. maybe (juste MAYBE  s:? :? s:?  ) a darker blue...

but the main question would be: WHY?

I don't think it looks so bad from a distance... but close up, like the others, I don't think it suits.

Looks okay to me, nice wheels.  I think red would have looked quite cool with the red interior and maybe some red calipers.

You could perhaps paint the calipers in paradise blue, that way the vents, and indicators match which would make the look more cohesive.

I think thats whats missing here - when viewed with the side indicators then they look better, so maybe a few more blue highlights needed to compliment/complete the look.   I actually quite like little bits of contrast, you don't see it often enough if you ask me!

Perhaps blue surround bits on the front headlights, where they're currently black.

Car's going into the dealer on 23rd and 24th and they're already miffed at the mods... don't want to add any more before then.

I won't get chance then until the weekend.

Fair enough, I don't think they would even notice that it had '03 vents though... I know mine didn't  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
