    Stay black mate, the green parts go very well with against the black, but it still looks evil with the black wheels, lights etc.

    lol @ mark.

    Yes i thought about the sheep thing and had a chat with Pred about it.

    Im fully aware the whole "bright" thing has been done etc, but i do still really liek it, and thats all that matters right??

    People can say as they wish, im following the crowed, copying 180's look etc etc, but i have allways liked the green on black look....

    arghhh man lol

    yes the green does look good which is why if your going to do anything green then just do the cage imo.

    Keep them black, then get the Team Dynamics Motorsport done in green on the rims. Basically rather than what you was looking to to (green with black writing) just do them the complete opposite. Keeps the level of green down and still has the effect.

    hey guys!!

    Thanks for all the comments.

    Just to pick up on a few.

    Green writing - tried doing that and failed miserably, would just not go right in the writing, was sloppy etc, and would be to much of a fook on, if im honest.

    Rim tape - the actual lip is just over an inch thick on TD 1.2's and an inch thick strip would look abit daft, again, tried it and it looked pap imho.

    also for others saying if i do it then dont like it etc, its not costing much so could easily go back to gloss black in a few months if need be.

    i do agree with people saying to do them green but maybe loose the towing eye, of the mirror caps etc, thats what i was thinking myself tbh.

    Will probs do the calipers black, aswell as keeping the centre caps in black.

    Will be making my mind up over the weekend

    voted black, because there is already a black saxo in newcaslte with those wheels green, and another that parks next to the college with green wheels.....

    go green and get a green rollcage and change username to saxo(insert lad power claim here)
    no disrespect craigybaby you know i love you really lmao!
    personally i hate the whole bright colour thing i dont know why its just been done to death and imo is just a cheap way to immitate guys like craig who took it upon themselves to do something a bit different a few years back

    now there are soo many people doing everything its hard to be unique and i feel sorry for those guys as the origonal cars that were mint are now lost in a sea of immtations that 50% of are painted badly and tbh look horrendous with every single part you can remove to paint done

    personally if i were you and desperatly wanted to get some green on the wheels i would paint the centre caps green as its a very small touch and all the bits you have seem to be little ones
    that way the wheels arent overpowering the rest of the car

    thats the main thing that gets me tbh theres a balance between black and colour and a lot of people get this badly wrong in this scene imo

    sorry mini rant but it think there might be some good advise in there if you read it all lol

    pics to come tomorow guys.

    Alex, thanks for your input, but ive wanted to do this look for well over 2 years now, so wether its been done/overdone, it does not matte,r its somthing ive wanted to do for a while!

    As for being the "saxo180" copycat, i was told off the man himself to ignore all the prats who say that im copying him etc etc as im very much not copying him, and thats from his own mouth..

    If people dont liek what im doing, or think im copying etc, thats their opinion, personally, i love the look, so to me, thats all that matters

    oh and as for the changing of the user name.... i will be requesting a change to Saxo_200 when im finished with my project

    That is all

    Yess i no what you meen, ive seen many examples myself tbh..

    But i actually try my hardest to make things look good on my car, to the standard which i think looks good, and tbh, i think im doing ok.

    Other peoples opinions may vary, some may think it looks stupid, overdone, to much etc but to me, its not just right.

    I dont think anymore green will be going on the car as then yes, it would be to much, ive now reached what i believe to be a good balance, and its staying like that.

    Pics will be up (in a separate thread) tomorow for people to give there opinions
