   What about keeping the alloys black and making the centre caps mango instead.
   Saxo looks good btw too.

   Well you still could do them way i said before.
   Or maybe they would be better off just one colour instead.

   I'm sure whatever you do to the car it will look good.
   Plus i think most ppl on this forum are very fussy when it comes to their cars lol.

   lol yer iv spent the last 18 months trying to make it perfect and iv had it smashed up by some tw*ts twice and i keep coming back and doing it back up and iv finally got it how i want it .. apart from 2 dents due to an attack with a curtain pole which make me cry every time i look at them lol
   but iv left the wheels until last because they will just finish it off nicely.

   If you spray the wheels Mango then I think it will be overkill with that colour itself(although I love the colour)do the centres Mango or if you want keep the wheels Black & have a Mango rim like rim tape but sprayed in Mango.

    I'm getting standard petrol cap and I got the mirrors free as a temporary thing there only on as mine got kicked off .. Think I'm gonna go for black with the mango centres then if they don't look right there easy painted black..

    You should make a progress thread with pictures of your work
    
    Why didn't you colour code the kit whilst you was spraying it?

    wasnt sure how it would look and didnt want to risk having to buy a 3rd body kit. ( i had to buy new skirts, new archs because mine got stolen..
    
    i might make a progress thread if i can find the pics, theres some pritty bad ones from when it got vandalised and good for a laugh at.
