Shall do.

I've done a photoshop on a pic of mine too see how it looks. Makes it easier to try different colour combo's also.

Couldn't get it to upload last night so I'll try and get it on here after work.

Looks good to me! Try adding the door handle hollows and side skirts.

Shall have another pop at some point.

It that stuff you linked on another post no good? (The fly eyse stuff)
Bit worries also that, if I do decide to do this, the colour of the fly eyes roof and vinyl on the rest will differ a lot due to different manufacturers.
Have seen some REALLY bright orange carbon effect stuff on fleabay so will probably get the roof sorted and ask them for a sample to see if they match.

Personally, all i would do either enhance the silver or remove the silver. Your car is very beautiful and black with big silver lights and silver wheels. Either black the wheels and lights or get some matching silver on the actual handles of the doors (not handle surrounds) and perhaps the grill and those fins beneath. It would seriously dis-orientate me to have a black/silver/yellow car without an ounce of yellow inside.

A bit of plasti dip inside and it's good to go :)
Do get your point though. At least the DS3 racing has orange inside it.
Going to buy some orange for the rear spoiler. Seems 2 of the 3 bolts aren't holding it on atm so may as well have a practice whilst its off for repairs. (can see where it's meant to be fixed when lifting it up. Hope it stays on before I find some araldite!)

You won't be able to change the bulbs in the 3rd brake light when they invariably wiggle themselves out or burn out, so NO PERMANENT GLUE!

If the new fixings don't cure the rattle, simply line the underside of the spoiler with some double sided tape (that you mount number plates with), or thin foam, rubber, or other damping materials.
