It looks....okay, a little bit too middle ground if anything. So inoffensive, it creates offence by not saying anything.... Did you polish the bit at the front (minds gone blank for what its called :() If you could get the same finish on the rocker cover, that'd look good, or Gloss black ;)

Danny. Could it go the same red as your wheels? The red of the boost pipes would be a bit too much, but the red of your wheels might go quite well...:think:

Yeah, I thought that too. But thats not a red like the boost pipes, it is the same, if not a little bit darker than your wheels... I think thats a good plan. Is it heatproof paint you used?
