sorry mate, luvs ya really........honest, I can see it now, I'm going to be banned from ABW from now on!!

How about modena green, a couple shades lighter than britsh racing green.

bright enough to attract attention, but not enough for the need of sun glasses

What about black including windows and wheels with silver ABW down the side?

Could also include a couple of Richard Burns sticks in back window?

Only thing is, is that it's been done. Looks great though, just look at Flat Eric's Stealth wagon .

I personally think it should be something that hasn't been done yet, something that says "Look at me, I'm the dogs danglies"

As Daren says, it sounds easy to pick a colour, but choosing one that stands outs out from the crowd is the problem

Are we coming up with a never been seen colour before then?

Could always do every panel a different colour?

Is this meant to sell the colour or the body kit?

hi mate

what do you think of marble effect paints, even if you done it on only a few areas i think it looks great, black an silver marlbe is my fav.
an where so many people have done flip paints, that looks abit dated.

matt colours are pretty popular in eirope at the mo. i've heard that normally they are pretty hard to keep clean but someone lately in the uk done a matt colour but mixed lacquer in with the paint then it leaves a matt finish but is still smooth enough to keep clean easily.
