You have just make my mind up, 2 tone colour scheme is the way forward!! Love the black and white, would go down a treat up here us geordies love out black and white :D. My pal gloss blacked his steels they looked sweet. Any more plans?
If it not a Ford then you can keep it.

As much as I like black vehicles, I would have left the roof white and painted the rest black - when the sun gets on it's it will turn the inside into an oven.

That said, it looks good, so who cares :) :) :)

Yeah, like mine :) But the colour has to stay so the roof was insulated :)
