Then if that's the case go green. As mentioned yellow and red won't suit the green and black car combo and black won't stand out, and I don't think silver will give you that 'oh my god' look you want when you see them given factory brakes are all silver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the thought of green but think it might be too much? For me it's just as much about the looks as it is the performance, it's the kids taxi, Can't wait to feel the difference considering the brakes on there are naturally asp.

I doubt they would charge very much for some dash green paint to go over the harrop lettering? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
