:- That's one orgasmic colour scheme! So simple, yet so effective!

Guywithvan - You should paint your van the same colour as your HL - it could be your trademark! Ooh & they'd look like twins... only with one of them on steriods... :- And you doon't need photoshop, whatever happened to using your imagination?!

I was stood admiring a red van with a white roof in a show when i overheard a couple of blokes " look at that cooper wanabee"
and the more i thought about that coment the more i started to agree with it
(or corse this is a personal veiw and i would not dare tell anyone else what colour they should paint their mini be it van or otherwise
, i think this is a highly personal thing ), If you like it GO FOR IT !

a friend had a 2 tone van once

he split the colours at bottom of the windows

he used a dark brown for the bottom 1/2 and a cream on top and used the chrome trim as found on elfs and hornets on the split

it looked realy good and different

the hl is a saloon,been so busy an due to the lack of a camera i havent had the chance to post any pics of it on the forum yet.when i do the van i prob wont give it a black(cooper wanabe)roof,as for the hl it will have supercharger out of new cooper s,so black roof will stay(it will be a cooper replica sort of :- ).

cheers for the feedback though everyone,and jammy for moving it to the right section :-

Why not start up a Digital mini Topic for us Photoshoppers to change van colours for you to help you decide.
