   Ive got a silver mk1 vtr
   
   so far the side strips have been colour coded, its different and i like it.
   
   
   
   But me and Saxojay88 are going to be re-doing them because its patchy as fook.
   
   Thought while we were at it we'd do the bumpers and wing mirrors, what does the community think though? Leave it at the sides or finish the lot off?
   
   Also going to refurb the wheels in black

   Colour code the whole lot. The wheels in itself will give the contrast the car will need

    Only certain cars seem to pull off colour coding, what else do you plan to do?

    Still eyeing up some OZ Superturismo WRC's
    
    The over all dream was to have the whole car repainted in red, citroen rally style, finished with these
    
    
    
    
    Life is but a fantasy, would still like them even if the cars silver though

    Not keen on those Oz's, only Oz i like personally is the super legara..
    
    Your plan sounds smart though and it defently updates the car being coded.
