Stripes!!!!!!!!!

Right then, mooching around the net as you do! Thinking of doing some photoshops to my car to sample some exterior options of improving the current looks.

I didn't really wanna do anything stupid and am reluctant to do anything as far as bodywork is concerned as i do like the shape of the TF. It just needs lowering a tad which i will do later in the year via Mike Satur.

anyways i come across this pic on the MGFregister.org site and fell in love!!



Black/dark grey stripes as above on my silver!!????? what do you reckon?

Paint code for Platinum is MNX, I think due to the age of your car it will be Starlight. In that case what about a dark blue?

erm, a sort of navy blue i think would be ok but drak grey is striking me at mo.

guess dark grey would contrast well with my interior.

think dark red may look out of place

oh and better change my sig then!!!!!! it is metallic silver so i assume it is actually starlight, oops!

Starlight has more blue in it and Platinum has more red in it.

You may have seen this picture before but thought I'd post it incase you haven't. It's Black on Platinum Silver.
