GOOD CHOICE. Matt black's been done to death IMO.
Look, I've made some cack drawings:

I did the wheels on that one, I was going to do the wheels on all of them but it was a ballache. For the record you should do the wheels the same colour as whatever stripe you choose.

Cream is definitely the right choice...

I was imagining a stripe down the centre of the car, bonnet, roof, tailgate - but that Starsky & Hutch design looks pretty cool :mrgreen:

With the stripe being quite thin, it looks a lot less S&H than I thought it would. My favourite is green. No, yellow! No, green, definitely green!


















Or maybe blue...

Cream wins! That looks awesome. Dan, look at some of the R-Sport pics, they had a 2 tone line follow that path, but cream on your red is awesome!

That looks greeeat if you ask me. Deffo go for it.
If starsky and Hutch had used a 340 instead of the Torino, theyd have got a lot more work done!

and theyd have saved a fortune on fuel costs.

or am I missing the point?

Just had a look at the r sport and that line is sweet but is also in a different position to the window grove, probably gonna go for a the grove as it'll be easier, I also saw white leo's on it and i really want some now. Just something about white wheels.
