Garage refurb

I’m almost complete with my garage refurb. It was just a plain white box to begin with. The lower color is actually a dark green. I tried to do it with Aston martin colors in mind. What do you guys think of the color scheme? I’ve still some pictures to put up and the floor to complete.

Thanks guys,
The colors are dark green, lime green and grey (I don’t have the exact colors to hand as I’m in Chicago for a few days. The tiles were already on the floor, I justs need to give them a scrub.
I’ll hopefully have all my pictures up and also a cheeky union flag (British flag) that I will attempt to paint somewhere.

I have the 128i. I went with that because of all the reliability stories I heard about the turbos. She’s my commuting car and is a quick enough for that, in fact she’s a little go cart. Ive added flappy paddles, sports seats (from a 3 series), Koni suspension, Bmw performance exhaust and intake and of course the alloys.

Thats Nice...
I used to track my X1 35i X drive... With my JB4 tune, it is a rocket and X drive makes it great even in the wet. Have the MSport package and 19" staggered setup with the Non RFT and an intercooler. I gave it to my daughter who now got hooked on AX and we have done events together where she is driving equal times and besting me when I drove my Boxster...

I do not track my V8V just weekends and date nights

Great looking garage. I love the floors, I almost did the same with my Race deck floors. But I did not think I could keep them clean. I used red and dark grey tiles. It is still not easy to keep clean. I love the color of your Vantage.

I think it looks great. The one thing I would suggest is adding a lot more lights, you can never have too many in a garage. I'm using LED shop lights in mine and they work great.

Is that a decal or a hand painted garage door?
