all you dubbers with impecable design tastes, im having a problem deciding on a side colour.
the rest of the car is monza red (and is going to stay that way, because i like it)
though i think the whole extreme redness could do with some breaking up...
after all, red is an angry colour. i look at my car some days and it makes me angry, imagine what its doing to other drivers!!

so here are my ideas: what do you think? (also... are nudge bars legal? i really dont want bumpers, and ive seen heaps of bugs driving around with them...)
any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

white or grey. i dont think they are technically legal but u could argue that they are technically doing the job of the bumpers and plenty of people drive around with no bumpers.

i like the grey/silver
some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch

What colour is the interior?
Before knowing the interior, I'm thinking cream for the sides. White's too stark, so is yellow. Needs a soft tone to calm the red.

the interior is painted red, with black sides/carpet, white headliner and red and black seats.
its pretty shmick apart from the carpet, which im going to get replaced, but its too nicely done inside to be messing around with it.
heres some interior pics

righto... by general consensus, its going to be grey (maybe some silver sheen to it!)

has anyone here got nudge bars, or knows someone that has, and has been pulled over/fined/etc for not having bumpers?
