Any sugestions or links to pictures of this idea would be great..

I think anything other than black or carbon would look daft :/
What a about a partial wrap? From top into the grill? And colour code the wheels?

I'm doing my roof gloss black

Smarties

Glitter

I was thinkin' wood effect...or brushed steel...but I can't find anywhere that sells that

I can do a shop/mock up if you have front on photo of the car

ETA: Ooohh LOL

That would be great, gives me a real look at it, the only pic i have of the front as best i have is below, am sure i have more different angles of the front but where on my Hard Drive? dont know! hope this is ok to play with!!!

I enjoy doing it...that pictures perfect too

 

[--alpina--]

What about a red carbon?

You know, thats a good idea Only if i find the red Vinyl near matching to my car itself otherwise having a slighlty dark or light shading will probably look out of place i reckon!! but will look into that one!!

Also Jen319, thanks for that, i look forward to seeing your art work at hand here

I think I had a trouser accident...

Rising sun or white is my vote

 

[h701micra]

Rising sun ftw

 

[--alpina--]

Jen, could you do the black bonnet with white Cooper stripes? or some kind of design with 2 white stripes?

thanks

J

 

[davyboy]

The red glitter on mark Bognor's post is the one by a million miles, if not - then the rising sun is very good

J

on it, back in a jiffy

ETA: not perfect but...

you get the idea

 

[Belly93]

do the smartie one lol

 

[--alpina--]

Jen, yeah, i like that with the white stripes!!!!

thanks for that!!!! gives me a better look at what i want doing!!

So its either black or black with stripes or The Rising Sun!!! decisions, decisions!!

J

 

[McMicra]

black with gold stripes!

 

[davyboy]

black with gold stripes!

AH!!! the old JPS formula one teams colours - a long time ago that was.

 

[Rogue]

Rising sun

Looks good!

Does this type of mod, add to the cost of insurance?

 

[h701micra]

Shouldn't do :/

 

[Enuo]

When you get a quote let me know...

 

[--alpina--]

To be honest, I don't think insurance wants to know about decals and any minor colour changes because cars do come out of factorys with all this fancy stripes, name badges etc so why should we have to pay that extra on abit of vinyl on a bonnet!!

I was quoted 140 pounds to vynl wrap the bonnet for the Japanese Rising Sun and a plain colour I.e. Black is 120 pounds! These guys are like 10 mins drive from me!!

Temptation Tempation... To be continued!!

[Enuo]

Aww man, cost me £15 in rattle cans to do mine last time...

 

[davyboy]

Tell you what I saw today alpina, Audi A 6 with red side panels and black bonnet, roof and boot, looked really good.
Take those two white lines from back to front, and imo it would look smart as feck. Just a thought.

I did thought of having the bonnet black and having two 4 inch thick white stripes on one side (drivers side) across the bonnet over the roof to the end of the tailgate like the Fiat Punto i think!!

[McMicra]

Something like this, but nismo colours? -

 

[davyboy]

Mmmmm maybe - your choice. That's a Lambo in that piccy, my mate had one of them, gave me a ride in it a few times - he pulled 105 in second gear once just to show me what it could do, the brakes matched the power though - bleddy good job!!!!
