Y not its a bright colour, most track cars are. becuase all the bolts wer fucked and they wer hangin off so i screwed them on so that they wont fall off on track. personally i thionk it looks alryt for a track car with the screws

this way it makes it easyer to take them off so that i can get to the bumper fixings if the bumper needs to come off. This was just a better way that glueing/bonding on

Maybe if the whole car was orange, yes. It doesn't suit it just having orange bumpers and arches.

I think, and just my opinion, the orange and black would work very well if you introduced some decals
I know a few won't agree but if its meant to be a track car then i think some decals could help it out, some black sponsers on the orange parts maybe?

Or some bigger decals down the sides in orange or something along those lines, Im not talking along the lines of just a door stack but a proper track style lay out and I think it could work really well.

Still I would get a new set of arches as the screws just look like a bodge to me, would look 100 times cleaner without the screws IMO.

Oh and I would definitly add lowering to your things to do, along with lower profiles and I think your good to go

yea im in the middle of designing some decals for it ( not just a door stack) so that will have the black and orange theme on it. In the end it will probs get a full respray as black is a ugly colour any way.

yea next is to get the suspension then get some new wheels as they look ugly to and then get lower profs on the new wheels .
