   Hey, first thread post i've done on Sax-P so hope I don't bugger it up! Im buying my first car after Christmas, and i'm getting a Black Mk2 VTR (Mind already made so please don't try and persuade me otherwise).
   
   I'm either going to go for all-black, stealthy look, with black VTR rims, black badges etc. White VTS rims, white badges etc, or else RED VTS Rims, red badges and either red chevrons or red grill or else both, with S1 Rallye carpet and red sports recliners.
   
   So which option should I do, which do YOU think would look best.
   
   Opinions welcome, and please don't be harsh, i'm only a newbie!

   Cheers for quick response. Need to know what to go for because i'm thinking of buying badges from citroen, the rims and grill on tinter, spray them myself (i'm a dab hand at spraying being honest) and then just swapthem around once I get the car.

    Right, another question I want to ask. Do you think I should start to buy parts for the car now, such as the badges, VTS rims etc, spray them and then just swap everything over once i get the car? Or should I just wait until I get the car first, then purchase my mods?

    I would advise to get the parts and do them now if they are available as when you come to get the car money will be tighter.
    
    Also I would suggest pink or something different but thats just me
    
    If you do lime green i will kill you

    I had a red carpet in my vts once upon a time:
    
    
    
    And on the outside red rims on black wheels:
    
    
    for a sort of stealthy look.
    
    If you are going to do a bold colour on the outside, with coloured wheels, badges etc I would tone it down a bit on the inside. Stick with the red carpet but get black seats, or do a black carpet with red seats.
    
    Too much colour will just make it look tacky.
    
    Here's mine as it stands with just subtle touches:

    I love both of your cars, there are both beautiful! I'd love your Black and orange one, but with red styling instead of orange, and VTS wheels.
