Insy Unregistered I	I really like it Patch. The silver grille, mirrors and wheels go well together and help to make the plus look something more than just a standard 20VT.

yellafella Unregistered Y	I like your thinking Patch. But, that silver grille looks a bit like a toothy grin, even though colour wise it ties in well with the mirrors & wheels. Black grille & silver headlamps?

Dark cars suit darker alloys imho, lighter cars suit lighter alloy wheel colours. I would also suggest that the colour of the wing mirrors is too silver, again needs to be a darker colour, I think it would look better if you had colour coded everything a darker (ie LE titanium or similar colour).
