no, it'll look terrible mate. the black does well to break up the colour

if anything get somebody to photoshop your car and turn the black bits the same colour. that'll give you an idea of how bad it'll look :-[

I say keep it as it is.. Old skool and hard. Think colour coding it would spoil it and make it look like you're trying too hard.. IIRC you're hiding something cheeky under the bonnet; makes a better sleeper as it is ;)

Yeah keep it Black mate, trust me the G60's look very nice even in black, although mines back in the bodyshop at the moment having them bonded back on.

I'm beginning to think that 9 X 16 wheels are not a good idea lol! ::)

Definitely needs to be contrasting, but not necessarily black, a deeper blue may look cool.
