   Right ive recently got myself a set of Pro Race 1.2's for a nice lad from this forum and at a bargin price
   
   Im doing a lime green/black theme on my VTS (chevrons & mirror caps)....but i also wanna do limegreen writing on my alloys (pics will show u what im on about)
   
   But i need peoples opinions before i do so, but IMO i reckon it looks smart
   
   Heres a pic of it with no lime green writing:

   I think it looks nice mate, go for it! Although they're only small letters i think it breaks the black up well

    Looks good that mate, wouldn't go mad with the lime green though. Subtlety is key.
    
    You doing it yourself? If so, how?
