   No no any no for matt black. Two tone is only really for silver IMO. But its up to you, ive been quoted £200 for a VT kit respray from a professional sprayer which is cheap so anything close is a good price.

   MrH's old two tone looked nice, with a blue black theme. Too bad it's not around anymore.

   posi blue and black looks pretty sweet. I'd be tempted to do everything below the bumpers black, and leave the top half blue. I would do it on my own car but I dont really have the funds to get it done proffesionally

    That would actually be amazing, get a colour match of the carbon fibre bonnet and use it on the wheels. Would be very unique

    you could always look at fibreglass option, looking around 120 quid off ebay.

    You wouldnt b able to tell the difference if it was done by a pro, the only differnce u would notice is obv the weight, but always worth just an enquiry to find out what it would cost or just have the black fibreglass bonnet with bonnet pins to go with it as well, would look good but just depends what your after.
    
    I've de wipered rear window, and just going to tint back lights black, and front lights will paint inside of those black as well. Then will enquire about costs for putting the whole bottom half in black.
