they look very similar in colour, but look good. do you want the two tone to be noticed from afar or noticed close up?

im not a fan of 2 tone cars as they always remind me of the guy up the road years ago who used to paint the lower half of his car every now and again to cover the rust. cheaper than painting the whole car :cry: im not sure if there should be more of a contrast between the 2 colours though as similar colours will look like its been a botch up respray done the wrong shade. :mad:

this is obviously 2 different colours though. i think ed325i choice of colours is to similar and needs more of a contrast.
