   Hello, really cant make my mind up with what colours to put with my mango
   Here are the choices:
   
   1. Mango with gloss black bump strips/wheels
   
   
   2. full colour code of all bump strips etc. and white wheels?
   
   
   Then for brake callipers etc. was thinking about purple
   
   
   
   Any ideas anyone or better pictures of my ideas would be appreciated
   
   Thanks
   Liam

   I was going to do alot of purple with my old mango, but then i bought a new car lol.
   Done a few photoshops with purple wheels, caps etc and it looked good.

   yeah that's what I'm thinking, colour coded with white wheels, and purple bits like calipers, strut brace etc

   gloss black bumpstrips i would say. colour coded would be too much mango. gloss black strips and anthracite alloys

    mangos look best with white wheels and colourcoded imo
    black wheels look boring, unclean and from a distance like youre rolling on steelies. And whilst white wheels look brilliant, they dont really suit black bumpstrips on a mango car in my opinion
    
    therefore- colourcode and white wheels would look awesome

    I think you need a bit of black to break it up. Looks like a jelly when it's all colour coded, and with the purple bits it would look like jelly with dolly mixtures on

    Either would look good imo. I was going to go with a chocolate brown. I did the engine bay but then got it scrapped

    Would be a pig to keep clean with all the brake dust and think it may just blend into the wheels too much :-/
