Option three seems like changing the car for the sake of it, if that makes sense?
Title: Re: wolfsburg performance (ex dave dinning) Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on November 08, 2017, 07:25:11 am In my opinion the second version looks best.
Just because the small black stripes suit the black window surroundings and the wheels, too. Cool Racer! 8) Title: Re: wolfsburg performance (ex dave dinning) Post by: Andy on November 08, 2017, 09:02:43 am I quite like option three. It darkens it down to match the black wheels. I wouldn't paint the roof black though.
It is a dramatic change to how the car looks and starts to lose the previous identity as Wolfsburg Performance/ Dave Dinning. So it depends how much you want to make it your own .
