I have a project but no thread started yet, as its been a really long thing with one thing and other ....... Anyway, as title says "colour scheme"

Its miami blue (colour change from red) with a Gsi kit fitted .. It came with black 3 spoke, sr alloys and sri blue/grey interior but metal door cards :/ .. I do however have the door cards to match seats. Its only a 1.0l and I know its seems a mad mix of parts, but here is my ideas:-

Im thinking of re-blacking the alloys, and lowering by 60mm. Calipers in yellow, drums cleaned up or done in black. Engine bay is still red (half job nd sucks), but im contemplating matt black (i dnt know yet) and repainting the strut brace yellow. And clean up engine, and paint the rocker cover.

its my first car and project,
All comments and feedback appreciated
Thank you reading this,
Ash

I would agree with turbo jolt loose the 3 spokes and I would do the engine bay the same as rest of car also mind and get the proper stickers for the engine bay make it look original you don't have to spend a lot to make it look nice
