Flame it with a satin black or a gloss black - get a ghost flame going on.  Summat subtle methinks which you only notice once you look. |

scallops unless you are going to do the flames properly. Dunno why but scallops look OK like that but unless you get flames right (which takes time, effort, skill) they look "tehy ghey" as the young folks say.

Would not bother, IMO I don't feel the car has the lines or curvature to pull them off.

Scollops with salt n vinegar, is best of the two. Hmmm scollops-tasty!  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Over Fablon sides Red steels with stretched tyres Black and white primer checked roof Rusty roofrack "full`o`sh1te" 76 aerial topper Race stickers in the rear windows "I wanna be an individual ...... just like them" Alternatively you could do something fresh........  ;D |

gotta go with the neither myself.... it looks better sans tout..... as the french say. Hearing aid beige is making a come-back ( I hope so - 3 of my motors are that colour! ) and Slaters Metro would be a good inspiration for stance and look IMO. OR Keep it rat - save the pennies and go nuts on the running gear fella. |

Matt black with the chequered roof looks good at the moment. How about some suspension action? ;D
