Should i 2 tone...

[Saint]

right im buying a silver back bumper - street specials one with twin exhaust and ive found near enough a full silver vtr kit cheap... plus i happen to have a big mouthed front bumper in silver... so would actually be cheaper than spraying the back bumper to just 2 tone it..

ive done a photo shop of the car that had the back bumper on to see what it look like. obviously mine has the abarth style side skirts but basically what you reckon to black top an silver bottom?

i kinda like it thought it be too bright but seems to work well

ps if o do this should i spray the spoiler silver like in the pic (forgot to photoshop it).... or should i keep it black

just standard VTR one i got

[saxoash]

Like it man!

im thinking of having my car 2 tone red car black kit with wide arches, duno what it will look liek tho.

[saxoash]

P.S where u get the rear bumper from?

[tgazvtr]

[Saint]

saxo sash ....

ok its more grey bottom half but darkest i coudl do while keeping it visable lol

the back bumper im getting 2nd hand but Street Specials make it.

this ones been custom done with heat sheild and exhaust to fit how it is.

ps i have street octane alloys too so the black silver an black should work well smileys/happy.gif

[saxx]

i personally dont like it

but each to their own

p.s if ya photo shoppin loads of colours y not do one in black as your car is?

[Saint]

i know what itll look like in black so dont need to shop that just its 2nd hand an silver already. be cheaper to buy silver kit than spray lol

aye 2 tone is bit risky but at least its not blue/silver combo thats got bit more common - no offence ppl i still like em hehe

[saxx]

yea but your askin peoples opinions on it!

how can someone say yes or no without seeing how it will look?!

ive noticed blue and silver is popular in now especially in clios and pugs!

[saxoash]

i think my car in black and red will look "smashing" lol ill just need to get vt door kit things cos mines 1.1

[Saint]

u mean photoshop the bumper onto my car? ah thats bit complicated i aint too great on photoshop sadly smileys/sad.gif

was easy to turn it black and silver than moce the bumper onto mine

u can see the idea of the 2 tone though smileys/happy.gif

[saxx]

i think it depends on how well its done!

some just look like u cant afford to spray it all up smileys/smiley5.gif

[saxoash]

anyone got any proper pics of 2 ton saxos?

[Saint]

how well? its gonna be citroen painted. im buying panels off a silver car ya see

its half the car in silver ppl will know its not cause i done it by accident. you think that if you see a body kit ona car all in primer mind fair enough but not every bottom panel replaced in same colour lol

[saxx]

no they do.

they look like uve bought a body kit off ebay and fited

[Saint]

what do you mean though by depends how wll its done then?

a silver kit fitted is a silver kit fitted lol there aint no good ways or bad ways of it being done lol

[saxoash]

Nowt wrong wiv ebay smileys/smiley17.gif lol

[saxoash]

no they do.

they look like uve bought a body kit off ebay and fited


explain more

[Saint]

shes trying to say that ie someone like me have bought a new vtr kit and then forgot to paint it.

2 toning is bit of an aquired taste i know lot of me mates love it an lot hate it lol so ill ave mixed reactions with them too

[saxoash]

in other words putting a bodykit on with out spraying it and calling it 2tone?

[saxx]

pretty much

two tone where its a slight variation like silver and grey, or oz's goldy colour - they look nice! but in my opinion when its two random colours it looks unfinished!

[saxoash]

black silver and red black goes tho, isnt there a pic on this site with a red saxo with black kit?

[Saint]

agree with the 2 slight diff colours. i had planed to go scotland to get the anthrecite colour bottom half that cme with the special edition 2 tone saxo. but got sold b4 i did the road trip smileys/sad.gif

bit bright this silver but black and silver go together just like blue and silver do. re and black would to if dark red i reckon.

but nah youll know its delibrate when i finish with it smileys/happy.gif bit diff to just one solid colour neways

[Saint]

wnt look unfinished as it wont just be a vtr kit on itll ave other stuff smileys/happy.gif side skirts, front an back bumper

[saxoash]

well i think it will look kewl lol

[Saint]

ta smileys/happy.gif hehe

well looking at buying the silver arches an door cards on sunday if this lad gets back to me as he aint far from where i live

then the rear bumper an can are being shipped over from ireland for 2morra or monday then ive bribed my mate with chinese takeaway for help fitting the whole kit again lol

[oz_borne]

2 tone is still a good look, not A LOT of cars have it, but becareful with what you mix.

The pic looks good and it'd be different to see a light bottom half car.

[WestyVTR]

it could work & look sweet! if you pick the right colors!! or look shite if ur not carefull personally i like the chop of the car in those colors.... smileys/smiley14.gif

[Deanlppl]

looks quality, ditch the spoiler and spray yer alloys black.

[Yates]

i think that first colour looks really smart, plus most people who know about cars and not idiots will no that its ment to be that way, not that its got a crap spray job or that its jus been bought off ebay, it looks good together so id do it if i was u

black and silver aint really random

red and blueis random

black and silver are along the same lines, both dark colours
