People have taken to doing photoshops of my Car on the Austin Rover site!
The wheels from the Rover 800 look white and put me in mind of Compomotive MO's.
Quite a good effort, see if you can spot the other things he has done. Wink

hey,..I`m actually impressed..photoshops are hit & miss depending on how good the user is..but that looks good...white as a colour can work if the finish is immaculate...You could do something creative with the vitesse alloys with the slicks with the way that you paint/polish/powdercoat them...
An example of what can be done , see this guys stuff..very impressive..

Wonder what it would look like with the thik rubbing strip and smothing the body, remove the recess and small bodycoloured doorhandles? Modern cars are all colour coded and smooth.

I'm keeping the Union flag down each side. The front is blue, the rear will be red and the top will be white!!!! Cool

I have also now remade the front bumper so it is smaller and sits closer to the body and am now reshaping the standard spoiler so it is an 1" lower and 2" forward at the bottom. I haven't seen them both on the car yet but am hoping it looks good.
