Now my car is finally coming together i want to tidy a few things up for a year or so until i treat the bodywork to a full respray, maybe even a colur change.

I dropped my bonnet when removing it. Partly due to me being a clumsy oaf and the fact that the hinges sheared. I also have some minor damage to a couple of my SP12's.

So i am thinking of giving the car a different/meaner look for a while.
Maybe to vinyl wrap the bonnet... carbon fibre, matt or satin black.
Repaint the wheels, black, anthracite.
Replace the side repeaters and indicators with smoked?

Thoughts and ideas please as i am quite colour blind!

I would say yes to the anthracite wheels but get them in a light anthracite unlike my old chims dark anthracite which work well on the yellow but a light anthracite will work with your blue. As for the bonnet Wrap it would not be my way forward i like your strips as it is they work well and every one knows it as your car.

I may as well dream about the future possibilities for my pnj whilst i am designing the new aircraft carrier.

Maybe if you are closer you can pop round and do a few jobs for me. rolleyes
Otherwise i will be driving home tonight and in the garage in the morning.
