Ah, no worries. I grew up in Mevagissey and thought I recognised it. But enough from me, I'm getting too far off topic.
Ive been to Mevagissey - lovely place.
Also i used ot see a girl(claire) from Stamford. Went to a dodgy club there.
ok
FG - The green i suggested was meant to be an illuminous green like that front splitter picture, if youve seen it.
I was thinking about white for my motor though?

White Wheels!! I thought silver were hard enough to keep clean!
I've had a look at the Rotas on the GB as suggested... although I like the style of the Fighters the colours look too dull for me. I think it would look like a stealth car... now there's a thought!

I don't think I'm that brave...a bit too eye catching. Wouldn't go with the red interior really.

I understand what you are trying to do. An exterior that has a visual colour link to the interior, nothing wrong with that.
Consider painting the calipers red (and ignore any subsequent criticisms) and go for a graphite re-colour of the wheels with maybe polished rims.
Also I'm sure I've seen some Wolfrace alloys in graphite grey with a red stripe around the rim.
The existing alloys look as if they are trying too hard to brighten the exterior so by toning them down you take a more artful subtle approach. The red callipers add some highlight.
On mine I have sought an exterior co-ordinated look by not only painting the callipers red, but have infilled in red the black paint of the side HONDA wing badges. The cleverness is often in the detail that soemtimes may not be obvious at first glance.
Currently considering going the graphite grey look myself with an additional set alloys. No gloss black at any cost though.
Do your thing and enjoy man.

Thanks for your constructive advice. I'm reconsidering options. I like the idea of a subtle bit of red in the badges. How did you do that?
BTW Where in West sussex are you? I'll be in Pagham and Eastergate at the weekend although sadly not in the S as I have to pick up some stuff from my parents.

With a fine artists brush brush using ordinary modellers red enamel paint.
Just before the paint dries and even after, it's easy to gently remove any surplus paint from the surrounding chrome.
Even more difficult was doing the same to the inset Honda badge on the sill covers - now doing that is REALLY sad, but do I care?
And then there are the matching red felt inserts to the detent of the sliding top to the centre armrest compartment, the surround to the lighter plug, the inside of the radio door ( looks cool when the radio door is open ), and I nearly forgot red LED lights in the footwells.
Sorry no picts. but when day I will work out how.
I live near Worthing, and was in Chichester & at Goodwood airfield this morning, sans Honda though. Bosham is a great favourite for a run in the Honda, with morning coffee at the Millstream Hotel. Alternative is the Chichester yacht basin.
