[Mk2] [Generic] Dark car, red center panel?

Post by craig »

Just having a scan on the net and came across a SARD demo car:

Is it just me that thinks a red rear center panel works on a dark coloured car (Black/Dark Green etc), or am I in a minority. :lol:

Think it ties in nicely with the red of the rear lights, although it does look a bit Mazda 323F....

Thoughts? :-k

Omg that's gorgeous! Lol bloody 323s don't see many any more. I think it's a nice idea, good to see something different

Looks great. I suppose it would all come down to the finish in the end in reality though.

Always wondered about a carbon centre on a white mr2 with carbon rev5 blade. As per my own. And maybe intake scoops... Mmmm

So its a red panel with Sard written on it? I think I'll just stick with black.

The rest of the car is hideous.

Could either look good, or look like "I've just bought some rev 3's and can't afford to get the panel painted" :mrgreen:

I think it's one of those that pictures don't do it justice and it would probably look really good in the flesh ... You could always just get a red rev3 centre panel and put a transfer on it in order to test it :thumleft:

Now those mirrors look lovely!!!

I've got a red rev 3 panel, just dunno whether it'd look good. Might give it a try :lol:

I think it would look only good if it's a bit darker ruby red, same as the lights.

Yeah, rev 3 panel is rev 3 super red, so quite a different shade to the lights.

Wonder if it'd be possible to modify a transparent 323/CRX centre panel to fit.
