At last someone with gold with green! (I have gold/bronze with portofino)

Thought it might look horrible and it is kinda sickly, but it made me smile the whole time on looking at it, so that's 100% success in my books. (The other measure of success is if the traditionalists hate it. ;\) ) Bet it looks far better in the flesh too.

Now get some of the decals painted to match. My car gets about 50 times more looks since I got some decals colour-coded.

Very very nice. Good point about the petrol cap too, why not do mesh diffuser while you're at it.

It goes really well with the green, but when you can see the tan leather through the window it clashes bigtime with that \:# \:s \:\?

Not so keen on that. For me an alloys wheel should be just that, ie: Alloy in colour, (silver/light metal).

And how far back is that drivers seat in the green Coupe?! \:o

Gold and green always reminds me of a christmas tree, a bit of tinsel and some lights and it'll look lovely. ;\)

Hope its a photoshop as I really don't like it.

Only the Clio Williams and Blue Subaru Impreza should ever have gold rims.

I dont mind it with Green - but a little bit too 'showy' for me. Gold calipers go well with scotts green though...

I think it looks no to bad but if I did that to my car I would get a bit bored with it after a couple of months when the novelty wore off

Think it goes well with the green, not to flashy but yet stands out more than the silver.
