    Hello everyone,

    I have recently purchased a 2008 JCW in Astro Black. I am thinking that it needs some extra colour. There are lots of small rental cars around here, and it needs to stand out a bit. What colours would look good on an Astro Black bonnet, roof, and boot?? Pictures would be great.

    Thanks,

    Ken

    Depends on how much you want to stand out!! any bright color will do that, or could go with a flat black and be little more quiet with it.. Even some frosted crystal to give it a sand blasted look. ( used alot on glass to make it look etched ) 1st thought is red as mentioned above but that will be everybody's first thought so maybe go yellow, white or blue...Find a white MINI with black stripes and or graphics you like and do it in reverse...

    I think Lime green would be cool.. the beauty with Black is that almost any color stripes will go with it.

    Everything goes with black so pick your favorite color. :idea:

    Just don't do leopard print strips and add those big ugly eyelashes or you will have to rename your car "Jersey Shore Girl". :lol:
