Default Matt black classic???

Hi all, my bro has offered to respray my classic at his body shop for silly money..................
I was looking into tidying it anyway, but he has come up with the following idea
- matt black body
- carbon bonnet
- green buddy club wheels
- then some of the monster graphics from ken block car.

Looking for opinions as I think it could potentially smart.

Liking richgreenscooby, you kept clear side repeaters? Worried green wheels without any graphics will just be a bit chavy...........

Mmmmm, black wheels with green pin stripe looks good to. Well, clearly matt is the way to go.

personally I would go matt black paint. and the dark green alloys like they do on hondas and rx7 drift cars. not to in your face then. and wont look chavtastic.

last year saw a very nice rx7 in a similar scheme at USC.

The garage my brother did it through would of charged 2k to anyone else. See if you can find a place where they let you do all the prep work mate, that is where alot of the money goes.
I did my bonnet, boot lid and roof inthe end, but I have to say its a pain to keep clean fella. Always shows water marks, and any dust to. Looks good, but quite a bit of effort
