that looks really well,how come most people these days turn their noses up at two tones but this just shows that it can be done on modern metal and still look stunning

look sweet mate
i like two tone colour schemes .but i do also like that blue if it had of been mine. i would of done the whole van in that blue and done the wheels as you have coz they do look cool 8).
i think it would stand out that little bit more.but as i say it does look sweet as it is nice work mate and that is only my opinion (so dont think im pulling it down in anyway) and i have been watching the progress on this van i wouldnt knock any of it.
there has been a lot of hard work gone into it as you can see. another nice van to be proud of :D :wink:
as youve painted it already rather than spoil the paint bad boying it.a quad headlight conversion would set it off nice

the blue is the same as far as i know as the blue on the badges and wheel centres a ford blue the wheels are as already mentioned late mondeo 18" they needed refurbishing so a colour change was no problem adaptors made locally i wanted a blend from bottom to middle but it looked to scruffy if i had added silver/metallic it would have worked better this is a pratical approach in case of accidents :( i have thought of an airbrushed graphics red/yellow something very oblique to go around the waist as i am not sure about the join any suggestions on this would be appreciated
