My two cents: I'd ditch the stripe, have the model designation painted black, and black painted center console and interior plastic parts to really bring out the contrasting color scheme that you're going for. The thought being, combine brown and black on the outside, then combine it on the inside and tie it all together.

Hmmm

I need to configure that and see what it looks like. Thanks Alex!

Not bad .......because it's hard to make this car look bad. However, I think it's something you would like at first but get tired of quickly. And it would definitely effect the resale value.

Interior: I have natural brown and it is awesome. If you plan to DE, get the folding gt2 seats NOW....getting track seats later for a natural brown interior is a PITA.

Exterior: so so. If you plan to keep it, no issues. It will be hard to release it/sell it....

Very good point on the gt2 seats. I wouldn't have thought of that.

Looks great to me (and I love the stripe ;-) even when I seem to be the only one on this forum)

I like the color combo & hate the stripe. Those stripes remind me of the "Le Car" image:

For me brown is an organic colour which is why it looks good on people.
A sophisticated machine needs a colour reflecting its elements, steel, aluminum, rubber... or, it's energy and heat, like red or yellow.
Nothing like a buffed up P51 Mustang to look 'right' in its elements.

Love it sans stripes but I think it would look even better on a Panamara with wood interior.

Just playing the design game and this is the result. Pretty unique look and one I have certainly never seen before...

Step up! Speak your mind!
sorry brown is brown; better with basalt blk or atlas grey
