  So , my rot box will be getting stripped out and caged for use as a 'fun car' now I have a sensible daily as well. Its going on some white steelies that make it look fairly mean but I'm thinking about some rally style livery, my question is however.... what looks good on snot green!! Anyone seen any respectable green rally cars?! |

Depends on how you look at it, if its going to be a fun 'not to sell on shortly' car do it out like the 'Hazard' strip you have on the NS wing, the above colours are fine, but they are not ummm, snot green....although the wheels do offset the bronchial nature of the paint work   Which for some perverse reason I actually find nice, it needs a high cut back and polish if you wish to keep the 'Bogey' hue, with those rims it would look rather fetching thats just my tired and sad 'need a life' view |

The livery on the Challenger in the post above would look good me thinks, but I do agree with fred that the car could use a polish for that.

The only problem is that its half faded green and half rust lol - I'm afraid of polishing away the bodywork ha ha
Cheers for the input, from my googling it seems either white or black are the only viable options - I may see how awful the hazard tape looks as a sun strip as well. I do have a chalkboard painted bonnet from my other one that I could pop on...
I did even debate reviving the old tiger stripes of period fords!

I think yellow always works well with green or matt black (that goes with anything  ) |
