Re:

I absolutely love it. Black interior, black wheels. That way, only 2 colours on the car. I' even get black on orange plates for shows. cheers man! didn't think many would like it. a bit lairy for some i suppose. i'll maybe try the rims and centre caps black. you have a good point about the 2 colours.
