Hi all. Ideas needed.

[Dre]

Hi guys. Had my iceburg 172 for about 6 months now. After some little mods, nothing major/overly expensive, to give it a little character. Thought about giving it a colour code ie trim callipers, mats ect. Thought of Kawasaki green. What are peoples views on this? Any other input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dre

IMO I'm not to keen on the Silver centres on the black wheels. Saying that if it was me I'd have the wheels silver!
But if you like them black maybe get the centres black to match & do the small diamonds Green? Won't be too bad for a colour combo, may look a bit tacky if you go mad with it though!

Think I'd spend the money on a better camera first!

Lose the tints, they look way too dark. And sort the wheels out, the silver centre caps don't look right.

Mirror the above. I'd have silver wheels as at the moment it looks like the caps are from a different set of wheels.

Remove the tints and k-tec sticker. Paint the calipers black as other colours loose their vibrancy in less than a week.

Gloss black interior trims would look nice I'm sure.

The wheels are going back to standard silver, maybe anthracite at a push. Not too keen on the black myself.

Was taken on my old iphone potato camera. Need a nice day and get a good location and dust the slr off.

Stickers are currently being scraped off as we speak. Tempted to keep the tints solely for having little'uns in the back. Can't stand tacky sun visors.

Ahh good!

Rear glass is tinted so the sun shouldn't be a problem. They're just a little too dark, must make checking the blind spot more difficult. Will make the interior a much nice place to be with them off though.

Blind spot not too much of a problem although seeing anything out the rear at night is. Have to use spider senses when reversing. Would say that's the only downfall. Popped the trim off waiting for my vinyl wrap to arrive from eBay. If it looks crap it'll come straight off. Only £7 for 2m2 so worth a bash.

Lol! Grew up with no tinted windows, child rear door locks or rear seatbelts. Still have scars from vinyl seat burns back in summer 76!!

Silver wheels or even cup alloys and a cliosport sticker!

Very true! Not too sure how easy it would be to strip the tacky rattle can paint off. Would love superleggera's or turinis. All cost at the mo. Dreaded wedding to save up for.

How about painting or cleaning the inlet and fuel rail guard, also a M.A.D. battery cover. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...MINIUM-BATTERY-COVERS-BLACK-SILVER-%A320-EACH

They look great! Do I have to go directly through Dan@M.A.D or do they have an eBay shop?

 

[1812lsd]

Can't see any on eBay, ask in his thread: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...MINIUM-BATTERY-COVERS-BLACK-SILVER-%A320-EACH
