Handles & Scollaps or No Handles and Scollaps is very close to what im going except with gun metal, so i always like that look,

however your easiest/simpliest solution in my opinion would be Flake your roof & throw on flappers (you dont even need your rims down yet since there black they wont cause to much of a contrast...

just a thought....

thanks again DNA

I have thought about the kiss method, but I believe the side of my car is too boring as it has no trim etc..

I think I will go with the scallops (white outline maybe)
no handels
and the metalflaked 14's

and thanks for the info on the fixin Austmod

I personally wouldn't do it to a car of mine but I have to admit I like how it's subtle, I reckon it looks cool mate

This pic above looks great 8)
The only thing I would do different is,
Have the scallop on the top of the front gaurd follow the
beauty mold line pressed into the gaurd.
I think it should follow that line and turn back along the
top of the gaurd, where it still can be seen from the side view.
Thin white pinstripe adds a lot, looks cool.

My 2 bobs worth :wink:

I vote for this one :D cos I reckon the two tones of green complement each other. I personally have not been a huge fan of this colour but seeing it with those scallops makes it click for me!
I don't think it's too busy cos like J said, there's no side trim or flash to worry about, and (here comes another opinion!) for some reason I don't reckon chromies suit this car. Dunno why...

i agree with paro, in my opinion though i don't think the lines on the top scallop that goes over onto the bonnet is right, personally i'd follow the angle of the guard styling near the special badge.
