Default TA Paint scheme, what do you think?

Gettin about ready to paint my TA. Its white, im gettin the WS6 hood. Thinking of going with this paint scheme but leave the mirrors/spoiler white, and doing the CETA panel gloss black. I have TT2's on it. Think it will look good? BTW, this is 69z-28's old car, just thought I would give him the credit for a clean TA.

I didnt buy it, mine is just similar. I always thought that outlining the scoop would look good, and then I saw his car and it looked identical to mine(mine is white and used to have an all black ws6 hood on it like his did).

that does look impressive,
but it would look weird without anything in the back, the spoiler and mirrors tie it up very nice, so if u do the hood, do the back too

I agree, you should also paint mirrors and wing black.

I agree. It wouldn't look right without the spoiler & mirrors painted black.
