Yep, Gold/Black thumbsup   Kinda JPS look.

:yeahthat: I was going to say exactly the same thing. I think a few more gold details on the car (not a lot and not big things but just enough for it to make a nice theme)

Love the gold prefer the silver style. I was talked out of doing gold windscreen surround, so settled for gold bonnet hinge to hide rust & calipers so gold wheels are out. But liking the gold suggestion on filler cap Bumblebee? Go for it!

Cheers guys..... Surprising how much difference wheels make to your car.... So having the compomotives done in black isn't popular? I did wonder about a gold cill stripe? May just tie the wheels in?
