As many of you know, I keep the exterior of my car fairly straight and subtle, and with a mono palette.
Was having a bit of a play on the computer..What do you think of this?(it is in paint not photoshop....and I am a completely useless novice). Like it?

hmm looks nice steve.
You just goint to get the front and rear profesionally painted black? Mind you though, it reminds me so much of a XR4.. i reckon a set of Eyebrows with it would be the shiz... if you want more... add a RS rear spoiler and your SET! Hot looking Focus it will be.. not that it isnt how at the moment. lol.

If I did it it would be a pro paint job.
But looking at the original, maybe I'd be best to leave well enough alone. It perhaps looks unbalanced with its teeth knocked out!!

Not a fan Steve, the front looks like youve followed a tar truck, the rear is ok but not black - maybe a pewter colour similar to the FPV bars?

If you're looking for a different look. consider getting the black trim on the bumpers and the doors of the car colour matched.
I've thought about doing it. partly because mine get that milky look to them from time to time. |
