I like it alot as well (the car that is Orangecurry lol)

Keep it exactly how it is, it's good to be different and express your own personality how ever you like.

But put the side repeaters back on the right way up :cool:

:lol:

I only said that because of the comment about it getting dark....it seems to be a growing trend to spray can your car ( :o: guilty as i did my window trim on the car) realise now you were talking about taking hte pics :o:

The paintjob actually looks good, barring the 1st pics which isn't great, looks a nice rich paint job...get some better pics up!

p.s.

I quite like the front spoiler....didn't like them when i first saw them, but can make the car look very aggressive!

Ha ha, looks coolio!!!!!!!!!

What you really want to finish it, is a black rim with orange centres!!! Polished lip doesn't suit it!!

Oh and make the centre caps black aswell!!!!

Sweeeeet! 8) Love orange cars! Agreed about the above comments on the silver lip not working though - I'd either just do the lip black, or the face black & lip orange. & a nice orange iS front lip would really finish it off... :cool:

Looks better with the aftermarket badness attached, I was going to suggest gloss black with diamond lip for the BBS.

I like that!!

Dodgy bit of photoshop (aka rushed!) but gives you some idea....

Image

It's your car, so go with what you feel works for you. This is just so you can visualise what the others are saying.

I agree with Ziggy - an iS front splitter would look fantastic, and I also love JohnnyThunder's idea of the clockwork graphics... 8)

Regards,

Bruce.

thanks for all the comments and suggestions guys. bonnet extension i love so it's staying! wheels nearly went black, then white, then ended up like this. not too sure on black wheels tbh but everyone has different tastes i suppose. is spoiler for definate. planning on getting the interior retrimmed in blue denim????? perhaps with orange leather bolsters???? this will be way into the future though cos moneys tight.
anyway a few more pics today in between the showers.

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.
