there's no contrast between black and white? :-k if a black car is dirty it'll definitely hide the lines, if it's polished it'll show them up more

There is no best for me, I like most of them :mrgreen:

To be honest, its more about wheels vs body colour to me... which is why cosmosblue's MR2, and the grey/pink one above look so good. For example, white body on white wheels also looks great but white with stock rev 2 wheels looks very average.

So, its all about the package IMO.

On a sunny day red is still a great colour most 2s are really getting on abit so thats probally what puts so many people off appreciating it


and without sunlight....its gotta be slightly off pink....just like mine is most days #-o :lol:

Yeh Border front and sides and rear arches look flared, not sure if they've been widened... The smoothing makes it look wider...?

Gah tell me about it, they came with the car, 15x6.5 all round and the tyres arent even staggered #-o

They are on my list of things to change, ideally I want a set of TE37's (16x7 and 16x8) on there.

Must be fun in the wet!

So much nicer (and brighter!) than Goodwood Green. Quite rare I guess?

Now see I thought that Goodwood Green was the UK equiv of Mica Emerald Pearl? I'm probably wrong though :P

Any UK Goodwood Green owners know their paint code offhand?
