As long as your taking votes, I like the dark blue with the ally sides, and recommend that you give the ally a high polish 
Nice car! One thing I noticed was a very nice centering of rear wheel, fender, and body. Was that right out of the MK box or do you get credit?
Either way, great attention to detail

cheers
yeah any opinions welcome
i prefer the dark blue too
although i prefer to have it all one colour
the rear arches aren't fixed on, they are just held there with a G clamp
but thats where they will stay
cheers

Darker blue is much nicer.....
though i think it might look a bit 'heavy' if its all blue-
id leave the side ally, myself.

i was thinkin of havin viper stripes like the mk indy
i think they really suit it
especially like the wheels on it
deep dish wheels will definatly be my choice

WOW!
Looks good! I've always liked the darker colors on a seven gives'em a sinister look.
keep going! Fletch
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy...

That is one niiiiice car! I like the rims and Pete is right, the wheels are set just right!
excellent job.
I love the look of dark blue metallic on the topside with metallic silver sides. I think if you went all dark blue it would be too dull. Although
thekafer is right about sinister! As long as you have the HP to back it up. The light colored sides make it look very sleek.
two red american cents worth.... for what it's worth....

sorry, i dont like blue, greens good
only joking car looks good and leave the alui alone, it will give you hours of pleasure polishing it and one day it will look like mine, that is if
you plan to polish it every time you use the car!!!
