lanky28 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 its up to you but i've got a black lupo and i've done my badges satin black interior wise you can paint your heater surrounds and T piece in the centre, if you look through the members cars section you'll get some ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickyd1992 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) I think green badge swould look pretty sweet mate, maybe get some green rim tape think it would look smart against the black wheels... Just my opinion haters gone hate !! LolPossibly your mirror caps ?? All down to you really chap it's your car !!

Silver! Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 No, please don't.VW badges in either chrome or black and the coloured ring around the wheels is so RipSpeed.Have a look around for inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyd1992 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Failing the coloured ring idea you could go ken block style and just have one green spoke on each wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmalouise12 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 ha i dont mind you callin me a chap lol i never even thought about it haha.i like the idea of green badges n rim tape but i also like the idea of going black too, surely with green calipers i need to be sticking to the green theme?!thanks for the photoshop great work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fountain Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Forget the rim tape and the green badge, Just get it low get some tidy wheels possibly in Green if you insist on the green, This is an idea, maybe??http://www.rimstyle.com/alloywheels/detail/?car_model_id=13070;wheel=cades_eros_envy_gr;dia=15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatesy0093 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I would go for green wing mirrors, green badges.Interior wise, you can do all sorts from the inside bit of the door handles, to the air vents. just have a ratch with a screwdriver and a few torx bits and see what you can take off haha, carefully though.Im going for a blue and yellow theme soon so im searching for ideas aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 whats with the painting your badges thing, it looks ****.keep it subtle, green calipers id go for and thatd be about it.unless u go green wheels then maybe green mirrors to match, but just dont start painting anyhting that easy to take off the car green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piers Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) I think if you want to keep your car unique and original do it how you want it... dont ask other people..?I personally think green is the best colour to use with black but it has to be lime green. Its also very hard to achieve what i think your trying to get without making it look tacky. Paint the wheels ford RS green and calipers black. that would look better imo.and just to second what a few have already said... DONT PAINT THE BADGES! Silver or black as Ray said. they should not be touched in any other way... unless you paint the inside of the badge holder.
